The 2011 Big 12 men's and women's tennis championships served up a week of action in Waco, Texas at the Baylor Tennis Center. 
Top-seeded Baylor faced off against #2 seed Texas in the women's championship finals.  Four of the six singles matchups included players ranked in the top 120 nationally. 
Thanks to wins by Diana Nakic, Nina Secerbegovic, and Taylor Ormond, the Lady Bears topped Texas in the women's singles.  
UT didn't go quietly though, as the Longhorns' Ariel Ellis won her singles match, defeating Baylor's Sona Novakova, who was ranked 11th nationally. 
In doubles play, Baylor clinched 2 of  3 matches with wins by the Ormond/Stanivuk and Nakich/Novakova pairs...giving Baylor a 4-1 overall team win over Texas.
It's the sixth straight championship for Baylor women's tennis, while Nakich earned Most Outstanding Player for the women's championship.
On the men's side, Texas entered as the defending champions, but lost to Texas A&M in the semifinals. Oklahoma knocked off #1 seed Baylor in the semifinals too, propelling the Sooners to the team's first final round in its history. It also meant OU would be the lowest seed to ever play for a Big 12 championship final. 
But the Aggies dominated on the final day, winning every match in the singles and doubles competition. A&M Senior Jeff Dadamo won three singles and three doubles matches on the weekend on his way to claim men's Most Outstanding Player honor. 
It's the fourth Big 12 title for the Aggie men's team.
NCAA tennis championship first and second round matches for the men and women begin May 13th.
