TULSA, Okla. – The Oklahoma State women's tennis team split a doubleheader at the Case Tennis Center in Tulsa Friday, knocking of Oral Roberts, 6-0, before falling to No. 22 Tulsa, 6-1.

In the first match of the day, the Cowgirls only needed singles play to earn the decisive victory over the Golden Eagles, as OSU claimed straight-set victories at all six positions.

At the Nos. 1-6 spots, respectively, Nataliya Shatkovskaya, Sasha Belova, C.C. Sardinha, Sarah Meghoufel, Malika Rose and Leyla Simmons outscored their opponents by a combined score of 73-18.

Oklahoma State then squared off against the highly-ranked Golden Hurricane.

Although the Cowgirls picked up a doubles win at the No. 1 spot as Shatkovskaya and Kanyapat Narattana defeated Tulsa's Alexandra Kichoutkin and Jo-Anne Karaitiana, 8-4, and a singles win from Rose, who is now a perfect 9-0 on the year, Tulsa won the remaining matches to pick up the 6-1 victory.

OSU now turns its attention to conference play, where the Cowgirls open with Iowa State and Nebraska next week.
