Top-Ranked Oklahoma State Tennis Goes to 13-0 with Win over Iowa State
STILLWATER – The top-ranked Cowgirl tennis team defeated Big 12 foe Iowa State, 7-0, at the Greenwood Tennis Center Sunday afternoon. The win moves Oklahoma State to 13-0 on the season and 2-0 in conference play. The loss drops the Cyclones to 2-7 on the year and 0-2 to open conference play.
Due to only having five available players, the Cyclones forfeited court three for doubles, meaning the Cowgirls would only need to take one of the two remaining courts to claim the point.
Ayumi Miyamoto and Raquel Gonzalez made quick work of doubles, besting Ashlee Narker and Valeska San Martin Ramirez with ease, 6-1. Court one was well on its way to a win before being cut short with No. 6 Anastasiya Komar and Ange Oby Kajuru leading Isabella Dunlap and Anna Supapitch Kuearum, 4-1.
In singles, court six was forfeited by Iowa State, giving the Cowgirls a quick 2-0 lead.
No. 84 Miyamoto kept the hot start going, defeating Gala Arangio 6-1, 6-0. Oklahoma State’s No. 56 Safiya Carrington followed suit soon after, taking down Ramirez 6-2, 6-1.
The rare super breaker was in effect for all of the final three matches. No. 4 Kajuru was able to get a win over her former team, beating Dunlap 7-6 (7-4), 1-6, 1-0 (10-4).
With a 5-0 lead, court one and three remained. On court one, Cowgirl No. 9 Komar fended off a scare from Anna Supapitch Kuearum 4-6, 7-6 (9-7), 1-0 (10-8).
To wrap up the weekend sweep, No. 66 Lucia Peyre took down Iowa State’s Narker 7-6 (7-3), 4-6, 1-0 (10-6).
Oklahoma State will head west next weekend to take on Texas Tech and BYU looking to build on a strong start to conference schedule.
