Cowgirls? Streak Ends With 5-2 Loss at Baylor

WACO, Texas Â– Oklahoma State's women's tennis team saw its recent three-match winning streak come to an end with a tough 5-2 loss at No. 6 Baylor on Sunday.

“We lost to a very tough team today,” said Cowgirl head coach Julius Lubicz-Majewski. “All of our girls played extremely hard. I was very proud of Yawna (Allen) and Jessica (Collins). They continue to play at a high level.”

Allen and Collins picked up OSU's two points in singles action. Allen, a senior, defeated #28 Taylor Ormond, 6-3, 5-7, 10-4, at No. 2. Meanwhile, Collins extended her recent winning streak to four matches with a 6-1, 6-1, win at No. 6.

With the loss, the Cowgirls fall to 9-8 overall and 3-5 in conference play. OSU recently notched three consecutive conference wins as they swept through home matches against Nebraska and Iowa State, before defeating Texas Tech in Lubbock.

Up next, it will be Bedlam for the Cowgirls as they travel to Norman for a showdown with in-state rival Oklahoma. That match is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Headington Family Tennis Center.
