Cowgirls Defeat Cyclones; Complete Weekend Sweep

STILLWATER, Okla. Â– Oklahoma State's women's tennis team followed Saturday's win over Nebraska with a 7-0 shutout of the Iowa State Cyclones at Stillwater's DeBois Tennis Complex on Sunday.

“This is another solid win for us,” said Cowgirl head coach Julius Lubicz-Majewski. “Our girls fought hard yesterday to beat Nebraska, and they came out today and matched that intensity against Iowa State.”

In doubles play, OSU's senior duo of Iryna Tkachenko and Yawna Allen picked up an 8-2 win over Kara Hickey and Caitlin Loprinzi before the freshman duo of Jo-Anne Karaitiana and Sasha Belova got the deciding win for the Cowgirls with a 9-7 defeat of ISU's Erin Karonis and Chrissy Derouin.

OSU swept through singles play, securing all victories in straight sets. Jessica Collins got her second straight singles victory with a 7-5, 6-1, win over Lara Wischer at No. 6. Maryna Tkachenko, who got the deciding win for OSU yesterday, defeated Alyssa Palen, 6-2, 6-1, at No. 5.

OSU will be back in action on Wednesday when Tulsa comes to Stillwater for a 2 p.m. match at the DeBois Tennis Complex.
