March 26, 2007 | Cowgirl Tennis
Oklahoma State's women's tennis squad picked up its 10th win of the season Sunday by defeating East Central (Okla.), 7-0, at the DeBois Tennis Center in Stillwater.
The Cowgirls (10-4) swept doubles play to take an early, 1-0, advantage. The most impressive performance came at No. 3 doubles where Jennifer Poskitt and Marta Tsivka, playing together for the first time in five matches, shut out Kat Christensen and Erin Miller, 8-0.
OSU quickly pushed its lead to 3-0 with a couple of quick matches at No. 5 and 6 singles. Senior Lauren Simmons was the first Cowgirl off the court as she picked up her 65th-career victory by defeating Christensen, 6-0, 6-0, at the No. 5 position.
Poskitt, also a senior, was not far behind as she downed Miller, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 6 singles. The New Zealand native has now won five of her last six matches.
The match was clinched by freshman Nataliya Shatkovskaya after she defeated Julia Arguello, 6-2, 6-3, at No. 3 singles to become the first Cowgirl this season to win 10 dual matches.
Yawna Allen was the next off the court as she got a straight-sets win over Karlien Lotter, 6-3, 6-4, at No. 2 singles. Allen will look forward to some much needed rest, as this was her first match in the last four outings that did not go to a third set.
At No. 1 singles, Iryna Tkachenko found herself down, 4-1, in the second set by fought back to take the match against Dasha Segenchuk, ranked 13th in Division II, 6-2, 7-5.
