Cowgirl Tennis Drops Second Match of Weekend to Texas
March 21, 2009 | Cowgirl Tennis
AUSTIN, Texas -- The Oklahoma State women's tennis team dropped its second match of the weekend and third straight conference match Saturday.
The Cowgirls fell to the Longhorns 5-2 and dropped to 7-8 overall and 1-3 in Big 12 play.
Texas got out to a quick start in doubles and clinched the point with wins at No. 3 doubles and No 1 doubles. OSU picked up a win at No. 2 doubles, but not before the Longhorns had won the two needed matches to clinch the point.
Amanda Craddock and Caroline Larsson started things off for the No. 27 Longhorns (8-0, 4-0) with an 8-4 win over Sasha Belova and Maryna Tkachenko at the No. 3 slot. Marija Milic and Stephanie Davison's 8-6 win over OSU's JoAnne Karaitiana and Nataliya Shatkovskaya gave Texas the doubles point.
OSU's freshmen duo of Alisa Buslaieva and Iryna Khatsko picked up an 8-6 win over Maggie Mello and Krista Damico at the No. 2 slot.
The Longhorns extended their lead to 3-0 in singles with Sarah Lancaster's 3-0, ret. win over Belova at the No. 5 slot and Damico's 6-1, 6-1 win over Shatkovskaya at the No. 2 slot.
The Cowgirls got on the board with a 6-1, 6-2 win from Khatsko over Craddock at No. 4 singles, but Texas quickly countered with the match-clinching win at No. 1 singles. Larsson downed Karaitiana 6-1, 6-2 to earn the four needed points.
OSU picked up its second point in singles at No. 6 with Buslaieva downing Davison 6-4, 2-6, 10-8.
The Cowgirls return to action March 28 against Kansas State at the DeBois Tennis Complex in Stillwater. It is the first home conference match for OSU.
