• KU was without a complete lineup due to freshman Maria Toran Ribes’ injury and was forced to forfeit No. 3 in doubles and No. 6 in singles.
• Friday against OU, Kansas was seeing success on a few courts, but the matches were stopped due to the Sooners clinching match point. Senior Tess Bernard-Feigenbaum won her first set and was on the way to winning her second at the No. 2 spot.
