In a familiar matchup of longtime Big 12 conference rivals, the Texas Longhorns got the best of the Baylor Men’s Tennis team on Thursday in the NCAA Tournament Round of 16 matchup in Athens, Ga.
After losing the regular season battle 4-1 to the Bears, the Longhorns returned the favor, eliminating Baylor 4-1 and ending its season.
In the doubles circuit, the Longhorns jumped out early with a 6-1 set victory at the No. 2 spot. The Bears responded on court No. 3 with the team of senior Max Tchoutakian and freshman Bjoern Petersen breaking a 3-3 tie to win the final three games and take the set 6-3.
