Tennis struggles against Longhorns

San Antonio — Kansas University’s tennis team managed just one singles victory in a 4-1 loss to 11th-ranked Texas on Sunday.

UT improved to 20-4 overall, 11-0 in the Big 12 Conference, while KU fell to 6-15, 4-7.

Kristen Steinbock was KU’s lone winner — 6-4, 6-0 over Texas’ Kendra Strohm.

The dual was moved to an indoor facility in San Antonio because of bad weather.

“We competed and played pretty well today,” KU coach Amy Hall said. “Kristen Steinbock played a great match, and I am proud of her. Texas is an outstanding team. I think we are ready to show what we can do at the Big 12 tournament this week.”

The Jayhawks will compete in the Big 12 tournament starting Thursday in Norman, Okla.
