STILLWATER – The fifth-ranked Oklahoma State women's tennis team cruised through its first two dual matches of the season, sweeping Oral Roberts and Louisiana Tech in a doubleheader on Friday at the Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center.
"Overall I thought it was a very good day for us," OSU head coach Chris Young said. "I thought we came out and competed and that's what we want to see as coaches at this point in the season. I don't think any of us expect to be playing our very best tennis on the first day, but as long as we're competing that will always give us a chance."
OSU made quick work of the Golden Eagles in its first match of the day, clinching the win in an hour and 10 minutes to snag its first victory of the year.
The Cowgirls picked up a pair of quick victories on courts one and three to put away the doubles point and take a 1-0 lead. The 11th-ranked pairing of Vladica Babic and Carla Tur Mari shutout ORU's Petya Simeonova and Jovana Antonijevic in a 6-0 match on No. 1 to earn their 10th win of the season as a tandem. Seconds later, seniors Katarina Adamovic and Viktoriya Lushkova locked up their match, dropping Brenda Mercado Jove and Ximena Puentes, 6-0.
Oklahoma State's momentum in doubles carried over to singles, as the team picked six straight-set victories to easily close the door on the Golden Eagles.
Freshman Lena Ruppert made the most of her first career dual start, shutting out Valentina Gisbert, 6-0, 6-0, in the No. 6 singles position to put the Cowgirls up, 2-0. The win was Ruppert's 10th career win, pushing her record to 10-2 this season.
Adamovic, ranked No. 68 in the nation in singles, piled on shortly after Ruppert's triumph, adding another team point with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Jovana Antonijevic in the top singles spot.
Sophomore Katarina Stresnakova clinched the win for the Cowgirls in a 6-1, 6-1 win over Brenda Mercado Jove on court five. The win was Stresnakova's 11th of the season, which ties a team high.
Also picking up her 11th win was sophomore Sofia Blanco, who handled ORU's Ximena Puentes, 6-2, 6-0, at No. 4 to follow 29th-ranked Vladica Babic's 6-0, 6-4 win over Petya Simeonova on two. Senior Carla Tur Mari closed out the match for OSU, defeating Ceijenia Cornelius, 6-1, 6-2, to move to 10-3 on the season.
In their second contest of the day, the Cowgirls continued to roll, as they knocked off Louisiana Tech, 7-0, in one hour and 30 minutes.
Oklahoma State continued to showcase its dominance in doubles play as 58th-ranked duo of Sofia Blanco and Aliona Bolsova dispatched Alba Escalona Perny and Sonia Chen, 6-0. Their victory was followed shortly by the pair of Babic and Tur Mari, who bested Louisiana Tech's Jazmin Britos and Marta Sramkova, 6-2, to secure the doubles point.
Freshman Lena Ruppert quickly gave the Cowgirls the upper hand in singles action as she recorded her second shutout of the day, dropping Haley Ballinger, 6-0, 6-0. Ruppert's victory was followed up just moments later by Katie Stresnakova's 6-0, 6-1 victory over Alba Escalona Perny.
Vladica Babic, ranked No. 32 in the nation, then proceeded to seal the Cowgirls victory as she knocked off Louisiana Tech's Sonia Chen, 6-1, 6-2, on two. After a slow start in her first set, Aliona Bolsova cruised past Marta Sramkova to earn her 12th victory of the season, tying her with Stresnakova and Sofia Blanco for the team lead.
Blanco, sitting on 11 victories after her first match of the day, brought herself level with Bolsova and Stresnakova near the end of the Cowgirls' shutout victory as she took down Nadja Manjon in straight sets to give OSU a commanding 6-0 lead. Viktoriya Lushkova provided the Cowgirls' final point on Friday night as she won her only singles contest of the day, besting Louisiana Tech's Jazmin Britos, 6-2, 6-3.
The Cowgirls will complete their trio of opening-weekend matches against North Texas on Saturday morning. Action is set to begin at 9 a.m. inside the Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center.
