After sophomore Edina Horvath scored the final point of her match to seal Kansas University’s 5-2 defeat of Nebraska University at Robinson Courts, the rest of the girls tennis team enveloped her in celebration.

Doubles teammates Horvath and Elizaveta Avdeeva are establishing an impressive conference mark. Saturday’s 9-7 defeat of Imke Reimers and Diana Kuhl improved the duo to 4-0 in Big 12 play.

Sophomore Yulian Svistun, KU’s No. 5 singles player, also continued an impressive streak. She defeated Marianne Cicamanec, 6-1, 6-2, to notch her seventh consecutive singles win. Svistun’s better mental outlook, along with her forehand and backhand skills, have paved the way for her success this year.

KU won three other singles matches. No. 2 Kunigunda Dorn defeated Kuhl, 7-5, 2-6, 6-2; No. 3 Horvath defeated Wiveca Swarting, 6-3, 6-2; and No. 6 Stephanie Smith defeated Ashley Finnegan, 7-5, 6-2.

Prior to the singles matches, KU won two of the three doubles matches. In addition to Avdeeva and Horvath’s win, Dorn and Smith beat Cicamanec and Finnegan, 9-7.

Saturday’s matches — played during a beautiful but blustery day — represented KU’s first outdoor contest this season. Despite the wind gusts, the players — who practiced outside all week — enjoyed the conditions.

"Definitely. It’s the biggest scam in the country. I’ve paid $100 for books that were an inch thick and weren’t even hardbound. And they won’t lower the prices, because they know people will pay."
