ORLANDO, Fla. – No. 5-seed Kansas women's tennis battled tough in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals against No. 4-seed Arizona, but ultimately fell 4-2 at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.
Kansas drops to 13-10 on the season, while Arizona improves to 20-8 on the year.Â
"Credit to Arizona," Kansas head coach Todd Chapman said. "They played the big moments a little more consistently and more freely than we did tonight and that was the difference in a tough hard fought match."
Doubles play opened with quick action on courts one and three. The KU pair of Yerkezhan Arystanbekova and Anna Putilina took a quick 6-1 match over Ciara Moore and Zoya Chulak, while Arizona's Martyna Ostrzygalo and Tanvi Narendran took their match over Meg McCarty and Meriem Ben Ezzedine 6-0.
Court two would decide the doubles point, but the Wildcats were able to find the win as Josie Usereau and Maria Garcia defeated No. 64 Kyoka Kubo and Heike Janse van Vuuren to give Arizona the 1-0 lead.
Kansas was able to pick up two singles wins to come back in the match. On court one, No. 74 Kubo defeated Ostrzygalo 6-3, 6-0, and on court five, Nahyeong Cho took down Garcia 6-4, 6-2.
Arizona was able to find three singles wins to take the match with a score of 4-2. On court two, Usereau defeated van Vuuren 6-4, 7-6 (3), on court three, Moore took her match over Arystanbekova 7-6 (8), 6-3, and on court four, Narendran beat Ben Ezzedine 6-1, 6-1 to win the match.
Court six went unfinished, as Putilina was leading her match over Chulak 5-7, 6-4, 1-0.
