Baylor men’s tennis is currently ranked 27th nationally and is fresh off of a runner-up Big 12 Championship result. The Bears, who have compiled a 20-9 mark this season, have made 20 consecutive NCAA appearances.

Baylor women’s tennis is ranked 26th nationally with a 17-13 record overall. The Bears, who have posted a 7-11 mark against 18 ranked foes this year, have made 13-straight NCAA appearances and 20 overall.

First and second rounds of the NCAA Championship are scheduled for May 11-13 at 16 four-team sites for both men and women. The winner of each of the 16 sites on both sides will earn a bid to the final site in Winston-Salem, N.C., May 17-28. Brackets will be posted at www.ncaa.com approximately 30 minutes following the completion of the selection show.

The individual singles and doubles portion of the tournament will be announced on Wednesday, March 2.
