AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Tech women's tennis program fell 4-1 to No. 8 Texas Friday afternoon at the Weller Tennis Center.

Metka Komac and Olivia Peet combined to record a 6-4 victory on court three before Kailey Evans and Avelina Sayfetdinova sealed the doubles point with a 6-4 victory.
In singles action, Texas won all 10 sets that were completed.
Texas quickly evened the score at one-all when No. 106 Sabina Zeynalova defeated No. 70 Avelina Sayfetdinova 6-0, 6-0.
On court six, true freshman Cristina Tiglea hung tough in the opening set (3-6) before falling 0-6 in the second set.
UT pulled to within one point of clinching the match when Vivian Ovrotsky defeated Komac four and three.
