WACO, Texas - The No. 11 Bears once again prevailed on the singles courts to capture a 6-1 win over No. 13 Georgia Tech today. Baylor lost the doubles point but earned all six singles points.

The Yellow Jackets stormed through the doubles matches winning all three to earn their only point of the day.
