No. 5 Women's Tennis shuts out West Virginia, wins share of Big 12 title

AUSTIN, Texas – No. 5 Texas won the doubles point and dominated the singles session on its way to a 4-0 victory over West Virginia Sunday afternoon at Texas Tennis Center. The win assures the Longhorns of at least a share of their first Big 12 regular season title since 2007. Texas can win their first outright Big 12 regular season title since 2004 with a win this Friday (April 20) over Baylor in Austin.

"It's a great moment because just two years ago the team only had four or five scholarship players and we were struggling mightily," said third-year UT head coach Howard Joffe.
