Erickson returns to Texas for senior season
WACO, Texas – Baylor women's tennis head coach Joey Scrivano announced the addition of Kenna Erickson, a transfer from LSU, on Thursday afternoon.
"We are excited to welcome Kenna Erickson to Baylor and our tennis program," Scrivano said. "Kenna brings Power 4 experience, toughness and a strong desire to grow. She is a great fit for what we value: team first, hard work, discipline and being teachable. We believe she will make an immediate impact on our team and continue developing toward her goals beyond college tennis."
Erickson brings a 38-32 career record in singles and a 51-35 mark in doubles through three seasons competing in the Southeastern Conference at LSU.
"Baylor felt like home from the moment I stepped on campus," said Erickson. "I'm so grateful for the coaches and the girls for believing in me, and I'm excited to continue my tennis journey as a Bear."
The Texas native was ranked as high as No. 107 in singles, compiling a 13-11 record after a 7-6 start during fall play in her junior season. She excelled in doubles with a 17-12 clip, climbing to a career-high No. 17 in May and finishing the year ranked No. 18 after six wins over nationally ranked opponents. The duo primarily competed on the No. 2 court, helping lead LSU to a 22-10 record in 2026, including an 8-7 mark in SEC play and an Elite Eight appearance in Athens.
In her second season, Erickson posted a 16-12 singles record while competing across the No. 3, No. 5 and No. 6 courts, including a 7-3 mark at the No. 6 position. She also went 24-12 in doubles, highlighted by a 4-1 record in dual play and a ranked win over then-No. 14 Vanderbilt in March. She finished the season ranked No. 74 by the ITA.
As a freshman, Erickson recorded a 9-9 singles mark while seeing time throughout the lineup, including appearances at the No. 6 position during SEC play. She added a 10-11 doubles record, earning seven wins at the No. 1 spot, including four over nationally ranked opponents. She contributed points in each of LSU's six conference victories and earned SEC All-Freshman honors, as well as ITA Southern Region Rookie of the Year recognition. She concluded the season ranked No. 67 in the ITA doubles rankings.
A Lakeway, Texas, native, Erickson was ranked the No. 3 recruit in the state in the Class of 2024, according to TennisRecruiting.net, capping a decorated junior career that included multiple USTA national titles and ITF junior victories. She won the USTA National Indoor singles title in 2021 and added a doubles title at the 2022 Easter Bowl. She also earned bronze finishes in singles at the 2021 USTA National Indoor Championship and in doubles at the 2022 USTA National Clay Court Championship.
On the ITF circuit, she claimed doubles titles at the J60 San José and J30 Eau Claire in 2023.
Erickson trained at the Austin Tennis Academy.
Baylor women's tennis finished the season ranked 34th in the ITA Year-Ending team rankings, in a year highlighted by the program's 27th NCAA Tournament appearance and 19th advancement to the second round, with four All-Big 12 selections, three ranked victories and two qualifiers to the fall's NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships.
