April 12, 2018 02:29 PM | Tennis
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University tennis team continues its conference slate this weekend with a swing through the Lone Star State, as the Mountaineers take on No. 25 Baylor on Friday, April 13, and No. 5 Texas on Sunday, April 15.
"It's exciting to know that at least one of these teams will be contending for the Big 12 title and those are the teams that we want to challenge ourselves against," fifth-year head coach Miha Lisac said. "Those for me are the most exciting matches, going up against teams that require you to be at your best and require you to go all out. You challenge yourself and you see where you stand."
WVU's Lyn Yuen Choo and Giovanna Caputo are tied for the team lead with eight singles wins apiece this season. The doubles pair of Choo and Paula Goetz pace the team with a record of 9-3 at the No. 2 slot this season.
Friday's contest is slated to begin at 6 p.m. ET, and will take place at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco, Texas. Fans can watch the match live at Baylorbears.com. Fans wishing to follow the live stats of the match can do so here.

BU also will face Louisiana Tech in the first match of a doubleheader on Friday, beginning at 11:30 a.m. ET.
