IRVING, Texas - Oklahoma State women's tennis freshman Viktoriya Lushkova has been named Big 12 Women's Tennis Player of the Week, as selected by league officials, for matches played April 8-14. This is the second time this season that Lushkova has earned the weekly honor.
Lushkova continued her hot streak this weekend going 2-0 at the No. 1 spot in both singles and doubles competition. In singles play, Lushkova picked up her fourth and fifth wins over ranked opponents this season. The freshman defeated 51st-ranked Kiah Generette of Baylor in a three-set victory on Friday. Lushkova wrapped up the weekend by besting No. 117 Elizabeth Begley of Texas in straight-sets to help lift the Cowgirls over the Longhorns and win in Austin, Texas, for the first time since 1989 on Sunday.
In doubles play, Lushkova teamed up with Kanyapat Narattana to win both matches on the No. 1 doubles court.
Lushkova has been impressive in her first semester at OSU, notching a 16-2 record in singles play and a 17-3 record in doubles. The freshman has won 15 of her last 16 singles matches, dating back to Jan. 17.
The Cowgirls will wrap up the regular season on Saturday, April 19, when they travel to Norman, Okla., to face the 18th-ranked Sooners at noon.
