Women's Tennis Falls To No. 67 Kansas, 4-3

BOULDER ? Senior Jessica Vanderdys won her 71^st career singles match becoming only the 13th women in school history to accomplish that feat, however, No. 67 Kansas won two of the three doubles points to spoil Senior Day upsetting the No. 50 ranked Colorado Buffaloes 4-3, Saturday afternoon at the South Campus Tennis Courts.

Due to the windy conditions and threat of rain in the Boulder area, the singles portion was played first. After splitting the singles matches at three, the Jayhawks (13-8, 4-5 Big 12) took doubles positions No. 1 and No. 3 to secure victory.

The loss sends the Buffaloes to 10-8 overall and to 4-6 in conference play.

In addition to Vanderdys winning her singles match, CU received other points from Franziska Jendrian and Gleisy Torres Torres at the No. 5 and No. 6 slots, respectively.

Jendrian, CU's female Athlete of the Week winner (April 2-9) won her 17^th match of the year with a 7-5, 6-1 over Edina Horvath at No. 5. The Rodleban, Germany native also won her seventh conference match in 10 outings.
