6-1 at Alvamar Racquet Club.
It was a sweet victory for the No. 22 Kansas men's tennis team on Saturday night as it accomplished two objectives.

"If you stay around awhile, you'll get that many wins," Center said. "It's a nice number to have."
coach Michael Center the 100th win of his career and a career mark of100-51.
The Jayhawks' second objective was to avenge last year's loss to Indiana State. The loss in the NCAA Tournament ended the Jayhawks' season.
"Last year we overlooked them," senior Victor Fimbres said. "It was nice to come back and beat them."
Kansas began by winning two of the three doubles matches, capturing the doubles point.
Teams are awarded one point for winning the entire doubles competition and one point for each singles match.
"We had gotten bad breaks before," Fimbres said. "We fought back and won, and it was good to get the victory."
Fimbres, No. 26, defeated No. 27 James 6-4, 6-3 while Avila, sophomore Trent Tucker, and freshmen Luis Uribe and Fernando Sierra were Kansas' other winners.
In singles competition Kansas had a relatively easy time, winning five of six matches.
The upset of the night came when Fimbres and his partner, sophomore Xavier Avilla defeated the No. 15 team, Indiana State's John James and Claas Westlin. The match went into a tie breaker, and Fimbres and Avilla pulled it off by winning 9-8, (7-4).
Senior Michael Isroff was the only defeated Jayhawk, falling to Westlin in three sets. 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
Kansas sophomore Enrique Abaroa was unable to play because of a sore shoulder. Abaroa was resting so he could compete Wednesday in the Rolex Indoor National Championships in Dallas.
The victory moved the Jayhawks to 4-1, and members of the team said they believed their record would continue to improve.
"We are playing much better than before," Fimbs said. "We are just getting better every time."

Big 12 chooses Dallas
The Big 12 Conference selected Dallas as the site of its headquarters on Friday.
By Jenni Carlson

In a conference call of the 12 university chief executive officers, Dallas was selected against Kansas City, Mo., which is the home of Big Eight Conference headquarters.
Dallas has been the headquarters of the Southwest Conference, which will disband after Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Baylor join the Big Eight schools later this year.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who placed Kansas' vote, said that the CEOs received two excellent proposals for the location of the conference's offices.
"In my opinion, the Kansas City proposal was superior, and I voted for it," Hemenway said. "Others obviously felt differently."
Kansas' vote for the headquarters' location had been discussed since Hemenway arrived in Lawrence last summer, said Bob Frederick, Kansas athletic director.
With the headquarters going to Dallas, Frederick believes keeping the men's basketball tournament in Kansas City may have become a little bit easier, he said.
"I hope the Big 12 realizes what we've known for a long time — that Kansas City does a great job," Frederick said.
