Oklahoma State Tennis Ranked No. 4 Picks Up Another Top Player
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State’s women’s tennis team has added Melisa Ercan to its 2025 roster, as was announced on Monday by head coach Chris Young. A native of Adana, Turkey, Ercan joins the Cowgirls with an impressive resume that includes five professional singles titles, most recently at the W35+H Tauste in Spain last June.
Ercan also has made back-to-back appearances at the Australian Open and holds career-high rankings of No. 316 in singles and No. 648 in doubles. As a junior, she reached No. 26 in the ITF rankings and won three singles titles and one doubles title.
Ercan will be the sixth new addition to OSU’s 2025 roster, joining fellow freshmen Rose Marie Nijkmap and Alian Zack, along with transfers Kylie Collins, Gracie Epps and Marcela Lopez.
Oklahoma State has started 5-0 for the second consecutive season and extended its regular season win streak to 31 with victories over Clemson and Arkansas over the weekend. The Cowgirls also clinched a second straight ITA Indoor National Championship appearance where they will attempt to defend their title, beginning on Feb. 7 in Chicago, Illinois.
