LAWRENCE, Kan. - Kansas women's tennis won the Dillons Sunflower Showdown in dominating fashion over Kansas State, 4-0, on Senior Day at the Jayhawk Tennis Center in Lawrence, Kansas on Sunday.

"I'm so proud of our three seniors and the way our team competed today," head coach Todd Chapman said. "When your three seniors lead the way, it makes it much easier, and we did that today."

Kansas finishes the regular season at 13-10 overall and 7-6 in Big 12 play, marking the Jayhawks' most Big 12 regular season wins since the 2019 season. Kansas State finishes the regular season at 9-11 overall and 6-7 in Big 12 play.

With the win, Kansas notches its fifth-straight win over Kansas State while improving the overall series record to 14-10 all-time.

"We have a lot of tennis left to play. I've told this group all year that they can achieve whatever they choose to achieve if we play the right way and play hard," Chapman said. "I still believe our best tennis is in front of us … we want to go to Waco to compete for the Big 12 Championship and beyond that compete in the NCAA Tournament."

On court three, the duo of Kyoka Kubo and Anna Putilina defeated Veronika Kulhava and Tereza Polakova, 6-2.
