WACO, Texas- The sixth-ranked Baylor men's tennis team will return to action Tuesday when it faces the University of Texas-Pan American Broncs at 3 p.m. at the Baylor Tennis Center.
The match was originally scheduled to take place last Wednesday, but had to be pushed back twice due to inclement weather.
On Tuesday, Baylor will play its fifth straight match at home and will look to extend its 11-match home win streak. Overall, the Bears have won 19 of their last 20 matches dating back to last season.
Individually, Baylor is led by senior Denes Lukacs who has a perfect 4-0 record to start the dual match season. The Eger, Hungary native has now won 19 of his last 22 matches. The 11th-ranked Jordan Rux at the No. 2 spot and Attila Bucko at the No. 3 position also have unblemished 4-0 records.
In doubles, the Bears have been experimenting with player combinations and have played eight different doubles tandems in the first four matches of the season. The pairing of Attila Bucko and Serigo Ramirez have gone 2-0 in the last two matches at the No. 3 spot while Lukacs and Maros Horny are 2-1 on the young season.
The Broncs come into the match looking for their first win of the season after dropping their first four matches. UTPA has lost to No. 12 Texas A&M, 6-1, No. 38 TCU, 4-3, 68th-ranked SMU, 5-2 and UTSA, 4-3.
First year head coach Chris Taylor leads a Broncs roster tha features two seniors, three juniors and two sophomores and is coming off a 5-13 campaign last season. Junior Ashwin Vijayaragavan leads UTPA at the No. 1 singles slot and has compiled a 3-1 record to start the season. The Broncs No. 1 doubles tandem is a pair of brothers, Beau and Brett Bernstein, who have tallied a 2-2 record so far.
The Bears and Broncs have not met since 2002 when Baylor won all of the doubles points and all of the singles matches to sweep UTPA 7-0. Baylor also beat UT-Pan Am in Matt Knoll's first year at Baylor in 1997, 7-0. Overall, the Bears have won five straight from the Broncs, but the overall series is tied at 10 wins apiece.
RIO GRANDE, P.R. - Baylor women's golf senior Hannah Burke is in third place firing a first-round 3-under 69 Sunday at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic.
Burke is three strokes behind the leader, Purdue's Thea Hoffmeister, who shot a first-round 6-under 66. Alabama's Jennifer Kirby is in second at 5-under 67.
Baylor is in a three-way tie for ninth with Oklahoma at Northwestern at 18-over 306. Georgia holds a three-shot lead at 4-over 292. Alabama is in second at 7-over, followed by host Purdue in third at 8-over. Kent State (11-over) and Oklahoma State (12-over) round out the top five in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
Sophomore Chelsey Cothran shot a first-round 4-over 76 to finish the day tied for 26th overall. Lene Hafsten-Morch is tied for 50th at 7-over 79, while Jaclyn Jansen shot 10-over 82 to finish Sunday tied for 73rd. Morgan Chambers withdrew prior to the start of the first round.

WACO, Texas (AP) - Brittney Griner had 24 points, 11 blocks, and 10 rebounds for her second triple-double and No. 15 Baylor routed Colorado 76-42 on Saturday night.
Griner's other triple-double came against Oral Roberts on Dec. 16. Morghan Medlock added 13 points and nine rebounds for the Lady Bears (17-5, 4-4 Big 12).
"Brittney Griner is even better in person than I remember from her AAU days, and of course on film," said Colorado head coach Kathy Mc*******-Miller. "She really changed the complexion of everything tonight, particularly what we were trying to do."
Griner's triple-double is the 15th in Big 12 history. With her 11 blocks, Griner also extended her Big 12 and Baylor single-season block record to 133 blocks.
Brittany Spears scored nine points and Chucky Jeffrey added 8 for Colorado (12-9, 2-6).
With Colorado leading 10-9, Baylor went on an 18-5 run led by Griner, who scored 10 points and blocked three shots, including two in a six-second span. Without leaving her feet, Griner blocked a shot attempt by Colorado's 6-4 Courtney Dunn and then grabbed the rebound.
"The offense that Colorado runs allowed Brittney to stay off of the big girl at the top and just roam a little bit defensively and swat shots," said Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey. "I thought our perimeter defense in not allowing (Bianca) Smith and (Brittany) Spears to hit their usual perimeter threes was big."
The Lady Bears limited Colorado to just 21 percent shooting, while forcing 22 CU turnovers. Baylor also controlled the paint, scoring 46 of its 76 points in the paint compared to just 10 by the Buffaloes.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Bryan Davis scored 22 points and B.J. Holmes hit three late 3-pointers to lead Texas A&M to a 78-71 victory over No. 20 Baylor on Saturday.
The Bears (17-5, 4-4 Big 12) led for most of the game until Baylor was able to rally behind the key 3-pointers by Holmes.
Texas A&M (17-6, 6-3), the Big 12's worst 3-point shooting team, stayed true to form for most of the game, finishing 4 of 18 from behind the arc. But Holmes, a 5-foot-11 junior, made 3s with 5:19 and 4:52 remaining to bring the Aggies within one point each time.
The Aggies, who won their third straight, took the lead at 65-64 on a free throw by Davis with 3:21 remaining, and Donald Sloan the went 7 of 8 from the free throw line over the final 3:02. Holmes came through again from long range with 1:31 remaining, when his 3-pointer gave A&M a 72-66 lead.
LaceDarius Dunn led the Bears with 23 points.
Sloan finished with 20 points for the Aggies, who entered the game shooting 64.4 percent from the free-throw line.
Baylor guard Tweety Carter entered the game averaging 17 points, but was held to 10 on 4-of-13 shooting from the field. Baylor forward Ekpe Udoh scored 19 points, but only (CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THE STORY)
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Despite a 3-1 deficit, the fifth-ranked Baylor fought back with a record-breaking performance from Lenka Broosova to defeat sixth-ranked Miami in Coral Gables, Fla.
Baylor faced a deficit of nearly insurmountable odds, which at one point was a 3-1 Miami. With the two-point advantage, Miami was leading two of the other three matches still in play. That's when Baylor's two-highest ranked players, No. 17 Broosova and No. 24 Nina Secerbegovic, along with freshman Carla Lindlar stepped up.
"This was just a really impressive win for us," head coach Joey Scrivano said. "We showed a lot of fight. It was a real tug of war. We won the doubles point and then we had to fight back when we were down 3-1 after the first three singles matches. But, I am thankful that we have the type of players that can battle back against a great team on the road. It really shows the character of our team."
Broosova and Secerbegovic each dropped their first set, but battled back to earn at least one break point in each of their next two sets to win. Broosova's victory, maybe the finest of her fantastic Baylor career, came when Baylor needed it most. She took down one of the best players in the nation in seventh-ranked Laura Vallverdu to earn her 128th career singles victory. Entering the dual match season tied for the all-time Baylor lead, Broosova hadn't gotten to finish either of her matches against Brown and Harvard last week, but she finished with a flurry to break Katja Kovac's record of 127.
"I don't know if there is a better way to get the record," Scrivano said. "Her team needed her more than ever and she came through. It's as big of a win as he has ever had in her career."
In another one of BU's great efforts on the afternoon, Lindlar was leading her match after taking a 6-0 first set, but Miami senior Claudia Wasilewski took the second set 6-4. The newcomer rallied in the third in dominating fashion, winning the set 6-2 and bring the overall team score to 3-2.
"This was Carla's first big dual match on the road, and she played great," Scrivano said. "To beat a player like that on road means a lot to us. She has grown up in a short amount of time, and if we can rely on her that is a really good sign for our team. "
Baylor won the doubles point against the Hurricanes, getting victories from the No. 13 duo of Broosova and Csilla Borsanyi, as well as Secerbegovic and Karolina Filipiak. Broosova and Borsanyi faced the No. 3 pairing of Vallverdu and Gabriella Mejia, but found their stroke and took an 8-5 win. Secerbegovic and Filipiak went down to the wire in their match against Wasilewski and Danielle Mills, managing a 9-8 win.
Baylor will be back in action next weekend at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Madison, Wis., from Feb. 12-15. The Lady Bears will take on No. 22 Florida State in the first round. The match is slated for 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 12.
