WACO, Texas --- After falling behind 3-0, the sixth-ranked Georgia women’s tennis team battled back to within one, but couldn’t get over the hump as No. 5 Baylor held off the Bulldogs, 4-3, at the Baylor Tennis Center on Tuesday.
The loss was Georgia’s second in a row, dropping the Bulldogs to 10-3 while Baylor won its 12th straight match to improve to 14-1.
“I thought our team played really well,” Georgia head coach Jeff Wallace said. “It was a great college tennis match. We lost the doubles point again, and we have to start winning in doubles. We fought really hard but we just missed some chances.”
The match began with Kelley Hyndman and Yvette Hyndman suffering their first loss in dual match competition, falling to Baylor’s second-ranked tandem of Zuzana Zemenova and Lenka Broosova, 8-2, at No. 1.
Clinching the doubles point for Baylor was No. 41 Taylor Ormond and Jelena Stanivuk in the No. 2 position with an 8-4 win over Monika Dancevic and Naoko Ueshima.
At No. 3, Cameron Ellis and Adrienne Elsberry rallied to beat Karolina Filipiak and Zuzana Chmelarova, 8-7, to salvage a doubles win for the Bulldogs.
With Baylor leading 1-0 entering singles play, No. 19 Ormond pushed the Bears ahead 2-0 with a 6-4, 6-1 win over No. 125 Ueshima at No. 3. Baylor stretched its lead to 3-0 with No. 25 Zemenova’s 6-1, 6-2 win over No. 76 Kelley Hyndman at No. 1.
The Bulldogs’ first point came at No. 6 with Elsberry’s 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 win over Filipiak.
Shortly following, No. 96 Yvette Hyndman handed No. 8 Broosova her first loss in dual match play and inched Georgia closer with a 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 win at No. 2.
However, Baylor answered as No. 79 Jana Bielikova topped Ellis, 6-5, 7-6, at No. 5 to clinch the match for the Bears.
The Bulldogs final point came at No. 4 where No. 71 Dancevic defeated No. 123 Stanivuk, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.
Georgia will try to get back on track Thursday when the Bulldogs travel to College Station, Texas, to face No. 26 Texas A&M at 6 p.m. E.T.
