THE RUNDOWN
WACO, Texas – Senior Jessica Hinojosa had a milestone day for the No. 23-ranked Baylor women's tennis team, leading the Bears to a 7-0 win over Rice at Hurd Tennis Center with her 75^th career singles and 50^th career doubles win Monday.
 
Hinojosa was the last player standing on the singles court, and her 75^th win in a Baylor uniform didn't come without a fight. She dropped the first set to the Owls' Michaela Haet, 75. She bounced back with a 7-6 (8-6) win in set two before taking the 10-point tie breaker, 10-6. She paired up with Livia Kraus for a 7-5 win over Rice's Victoria Smirnova and Anna Bowtell.
 
Rice began doubles with 6-1 win on the No. 3 court. Haet and Federica Trevisian downed Angie Shakhraichuk and Sara Ziodato, 6-1. However, Kraus and Hinojosa knotted it up at one match apiece before Mel Krywoj and Alicia Herrero Linana took a 6-2 win on doubles court No. 1 to take the doubles point for the Bears.
 
Baylor cruised through singles with Krwoj, Herrero Linana, Kraus, Sorokolet and Shakhraichuk with two-set victories to compliment Hinojoa.
