Fort Worth, Texas ? Kansas University’s women’s tennis beat Iowa State, 4-1, to reach the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championship on Thursday at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

The eighth-seeded Jayhawks (12-11, 2-7) will meet top-seeded Baylor at 9 this morning.

“I thought we really competed today,” Kansas coach Todd Chapman said. “That’s something that we’ve been talking a lot about. Consistently, I felt like in the tough situations today, we competed and found a way. Iowa State did a good job of putting us in those tough situations, we just consistently found a level of winning points. That’s what it came down to. We won a couple of points here and there, and some tiebreakers, which was the difference today.”

Kansas swept the doubles matches to win the doubles point, then picked up victories at No. 3 singles (Maria Belen Ludueña), No. 4 singles (Paulina Los) and No. 5 singles (Anastasija Trubica) to improve to 40-3 all-time against the Cyclones (9-14, 1-8).
