If a little hard work goes a long way, the Baylor girls’ tennis team went miles Thursday.
The Lady Red Raiders were challenged throughout but never rattled in claiming a 6-1 victory over rival GPS at GPS. The win gave Baylor the Division II-AA East/Middle region championship heading into postseason play, while the Bruisers will be the second seed out of the region.
The win the Lady Raiders’ third over the Bruisers this season.
“Our girls did such a great job in preparation, and it paid off today,” Baylor coach Dustin Kane said. “They’ve put in a lot of hard work over the past week to get ready for this match.”
Baylor had straight-set victories by Samantha Caswell, Harper Caswell, Maggie Crumbliss and McCall Morgan, and Sonja Brkovic rallied from a set down to claim a victory in a third-set tiebreaker.
