“We were trying to just have fun with it,” Rosekrans said. “In the doubles we were pretty evenly matched. In singles they overpowered us.”
In the No. 1 doubles position, Cao and Rosekrans managed to stay with No. 13 Lenka Broosova and Csilla Borsany but ultimately fell, 8-4. Gridley and Chang dropped their match by the same score.
At the No. 3 singles slot, Baylor’s Nina Secerbegovic, ranked No. 24 in the nation, defeated Norton, 6-0, 7-5. In the No. 5 position, Rosekrans was similarly blanked in the first set, and ultimately fell 6-0, 6-2 to Taylor Ormond.
At No. 6 Carla Lundlar beat freshman Alexandra Lehman, 6-2, 6-3.
Because Baylor clinched the overall win with four match victories, Cao, Tachibana, and Chang did not finish their matches.
“Playing Baylor was a great experience, because they’re such a high level team with a bunch of accolades,” Green said. “I know it’s going to help us.”
