I believe all three teams would be name regular season champs.

Here's the tiebreak procedure for seeding. If I'm not mistaken, the women's team had a four way tie for third several years ago and it went down to the last tiebreak determinate- using ITA ranking. Texas would hold the advantage against both teams if that were to happen.
Looks like this wasn't even the first time she threw 21 K's this season! Had one against Southeastern Louisiana but that one she allowed 5 hits and 2 runs.

Also noticed that Tuesday DerMargosian is leading the team in hitting percentage!
Baylor escapes Lawrence with a 4-3 win. Texas needs Baylor to win out for the computer rankings.
OK State might have been able to save their season with a win against Iowa State today.
Joffe was smart in scheduling Baylor multiple times this season. Three top 10 wins against the same team is huge in a limited traveling season for the computer rankings.
Baylor also did some smart scheduling. Played quite a few 20-30 teams. Have not played any top 15 teams this year and will likely win out the rest of the regular season to maintain a top 10 ranking
Back when Jeff Moore was the tennis coach in the 90s and early 2000s, Texas was pretty much right up there. Six straight Big 12 titles, Two national champs, Two national runner ups, etc.
Patty Fendick Mccain would have a top 10 team every 4-5 years or so (fun fact her daughter is on the UTSA team Texas beat this year).....
4-0 for the Horns and looks like the remaining matches were also about to be Horn victories too. A big win- ITA is still unsure whether to do computer rankings this season
Gutted out a 4-3 win
Pretty cool to see Micah the true freshman beat a super senior for the clincher. Any chance for maturity is great for this young team.
Won the doubles point against UCF. Pretty happy with how the team is playing with doubles this year. Should see no more mix and matching of the doubles lineups that we've been seeing the last 5 years in the middle of the season.
UCF next to Pepperdine is one of the best mid major teams in the nation. Excited to see what singles bring.
Won the doubles point against Tulane
Guess Burque is experimenting today with Singles
Lines 1 and 2 are switched
Armilli (!) also getting to play at line 6
Nah immediately when Anna tied it at 5-5 the scoreboard immediately gave it to Texas
Bit preemptive. But Anna won the next two games
But she pulled it out in the end. Wore her opponent's forehand down
Interesting what Joffe has done. Switched Lulu and Anna around likely cuz Anna hasn't been competitive in any of her indoor matches this weekend. Also pulled Rapolu out and moved Collins and Labrana up. Collins has a win against Makenna Jones in December.
Good to see the 3 line coming thru today! Anna and Fernanda probably could have won their match too if they were allowed to finish out (Fernanda got pegged in the face and she had to take an injury timeout)
Doubles Point Won! That's a big point. UCLA matches Texas pound for pound in the singles lineup (actually may be favored for the majority of the singles)
ITA indoor draws came out. Texas has a good draw- drawing the lowest ranked team Northwestern in the opening round and also being on the opposite side of number 1 ranked UNC
Like the singles match up against NW but alas...the indoor courts against a Big 10 team always throws a wrench in things
Baylor's roster is filled with many athletes (four or five!) taking advantage of their fifth year eligibility whereas Texas has 0.
There'll be some growing pains this season.
