April 05, 2008 | Cowboy Tennis
Oklahoma State's men's tennis team notched its second consecutive conference victory on Friday, claiming a 5-2 win over Nebraska at the Nebraska Tennis Center.
“I thought we played well at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles,” Cowboy head coach James Wadley said. “It is always good to go on the road and get a win and I am happy with the way our guys performed.”
The No. 21 Cowboys (13-6 overall, 2-1 Big 12) claimed the doubles point with wins at the Nos. 1 and 2 spots. Sophomore Oleksandr Nedovyesov and junior Nathan Byrnes, the No. 20 doubles team in the country, zipped to an 8-0 win at the top spot, while senior Ivan Puchkarov and sophomore Dmytro Petrov clinched the point with their 8-6 victory at No. 2.
In singles action, Nedovyesov, the No. 8 ranked player in the country, got the Cowboys on the board with a 7-5, 6-3 win over David Bendheim to secure the squad's first singles point. Byrnes followed with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Francois Van Impe at the No. 4 spot.
At No. 3, Petrov handled Hendrik Stahmer, 6-3, 6-3, while freshman Igor Sobolta also tallied a straight-set victory with a 6-2, 7-6 win over Mark Tate in the No. 6 slot.
The Cowboys will be back in action on Sunday when they return home to take on Texas Tech at 2 p.m.
