LAWRENCE, Kan. - Texas (13-6, 9-1 Big 12) took two of three doubles contests to secure the doubles point and swept the six singles matches en route to a 7-0 victory over Kansas (10-11, 4-6 Big 12) Saturday afternoon at KU's First Serve Tennis Center. The win nails down the No. 2 seed for Texas at the upcoming Big 12 Championship set for April 23-26 in Norman, Okla.
Texas opened the match with wins at the second and third doubles slots to earn the doubles point. Sophomore Amanda Craddock and freshman Krista Damico teamed up for an 8-5 win at second doubles over Maria Martinez and Erin Wilbert. UT clinched the doubles point when junior Stephanie Davison and sophomore Caroline Larsson posted an 8-2 win at third doubles over KU's Kunigunda Dorn and Yuliana Svistun.
Texas wasted little time in picking up three singles victories to clinch the team victory. Craddock dealt Martinez a 6-3, 6-1 defeat at fifth singles, and UT junior Vanja Corovic handed KU's Edina Horvath a 7-5, 6-2 defeat at the first slot.
