ARLINGTON, Texas (OSU Athletics ) - Oklahoma State's women's tennis team defeated Texas Arlington 4-0 at the UTA Tennis Center in Arlington Sunday afternoon.

The match was shortened when both teams' coaches agreed to stop play when one team reached the required four points for victory.

Unable to field more than five players, UTA was forced to forfeit the No. 6 singles slot, giving the Cowgirls an early 1-0 lead.

Junior Katya Kolodynska dominated UTA's Anete Rozkalne at the No. 2 singles position, winning in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1.

Sophomore Ewa Radzikowska followed suit, defeating Ella Goldshuv 6-0, 6-0.

Clinching the match for OSU was sophomore Ines Furtmayr at the No. 4 singles position. Furtmayr dropped Jitka Vetrovcova, 6-2, 6-4.

The No. 1 singles match between senior Kate Vasylyeva and Annemarie Lenze, as well as the No. 5 singles match between freshman Zana Masnic and Gretel Hach were not finished. Furthermore, no doubles play occurred.

Senior Linda Faltynkova set out the afternoons match to further recuperate from a nagging foot injury.

OSU (6-2 overall, 1-2 Big 12) will return to action on March 9 when they host the Kansas State Wildcats at the DuBois Tennis Center in Stillwater at 2:00 p.m. The Cowgirls will be looking to end a two match conference losing streak.
