Kansas University freshman Ksenia Bukina returns a serve during doubles play with partner Elizaveta Avdeeva Saturday afternoon during the number one doubles match.

Kansas University’s tennis team dropped just one match on the day in a 6-1 rout of Missouri at Robinson Courts.

KU swept the doubles matches to claim the doubles points, then won at Nos. 1-5 singles.

Elizaveta Avdeeva and Ksenia Bukina won at No. 1 doubles, Lauren Hommell and Edina Horvath won at No. 2, and Christine Skoda and Yuliana Svistun won at No. 3 doubles.

Bukina, Avdeeva, Skoda, Hommell and Horvath each won at singles, too.

Avdeeva extended her winning streak to 11; Horvath has won eight straight; and Skoda has a six-match winning streak.

KU (12-7 overall, 3-4 Big 12 Conference) will play host to eighth-ranked Baylor today for the Jayhawks’ final home match of the season. Play is to begin at 11 a.m. at Robinson Courts.
