FABULOUS MEN’S TENNIS STREAK ENDS
It was heartbreak time in College Station last night as the Baylor men’s tennis team 57-match streak ended in the National Championship game against UCLA. More maddening was the fact that BU was just one point away from winning the championship on three different courts during the last one hour of the match and couldn’t eke out the win. We must count our blessings nonetheless: (1) Baylor was “UPSET” in a National Championship game. (2) This team won the Indoor National Championship. (3) This team won the Big XII Regular Season and Tournament Championship. Congrats Coach Knoll, Benedict, Matija, Michal, Lars, Jon, Benjamin and Vladimir on a wonderful season.

WOMEN’S TENNIS STILL STROKIN’
BU freshman Zuzana Zemenova became only the second Baylor women’s player to make All-American when she advanced to the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament. Zemenova defeated Aniela Mojzis of North Carolina yesterday and meets Anne Yelsey of Stanford today. Sic’em Zuzana!

JUDGE PRISCILLA OWEN TO BE VOTED ON BY UNITED STATES SENATE
The 11th hour bi-partisan agreement by 14 Senators has freed Judge Owen from the filibuster threat. She is now eligible to be voted on by the full Senate body. Her nomination to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has been the subject of great debate and hopefully will end successfully for this great Baylor grad. Click here for the full story.
