While the Sooners stunned Kansas in basketball at its home away from home Sunday at Kemper Arena, another group of Jayhawks fared better at their winter residence Alvamar Racquet Club as the Kansas whipped No. 37 Oklahoma, 6-1, in women’s tennis.
“We were hoping that we could stay with the basketball team,” said Kansas coach Kilmeny Waterman of getting her team to emulate the men’s blistering run through the Big 12 tournament before Sunday. “It was nice that we were able to beat (previously unbeaten) Oklahoma, even though they didn’t.
“Obviously it had nothing to do with the other, but it was fun to beat OU at the same time.”
Kansas, which beat No. 23 Oklahoma State on Saturday, is now 7-3 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12.
“We obviously thought that we could go 3-0,” said Waterman, of her three consecutive wins over Big 12 opponents this weekend. “But we knew that would be a really tough, tough weekend. We’re lucky to be just walking out of here (without injuries).”
The Jayhawks, who have won a season-high four consecutive duals, seemed to thrive on the challenges of going against higher ranked teams.
KU will have a week off before leaving for Florida to face South Florida and Central Florida on March 20 and 21.
“Yesterday, winning I think got everyone fired up for today,” Waterman said. “It showed us that when we play at the level we are capable of we can play with anyone.”
Against Oklahoma, KU twins Courtney and Kristen Steinbock won No. 1 doubles and Emily Haylock and Paige Brown won No. 2 doubles for the Jayhawks’ first team point.
The Jayhawks won five out of six matches in singles.
Brown defeated Annette Bryntesson, 6-4, 7-5, to move to 6-0 while playing No. 4 singles.
Kim Lorenz improved to 6-0 at No. 6 singles with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Jessica Braver to cap a successful weekend.
“We played so good this weekend,” Lorenz said. “Now we’re ready to have a little fun after we do our work in Florida.”
