No. 6 seed Baylor women’s tennis advanced past the first round of the Big 12 Championships with a 4-2 victory over No. 11 seed West Virginia on Wednesday afternoon at the Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Okla.
The Bears (17-11) dropped the doubles point to the Mountaineers (14-12) but used singles play to find the postseason win, which marked their second win in the last seven outings.
Baylor will face No. 3 seed Oklahoma at 3 p.m. on Thursday at the same venue.
“In the end, it’s just character,” Bears head coach Joey Scrivano said of the win.
