April 12, 2016 | Cowboy Tennis
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State's men's tennis squad found itself in the top 15 for the ninth-consecutive week at No. 14 in the latest Oracle/ITA Rankings.
Having to start Big 12 play on the road, the Cowboys got off to a tough start in conference action with losses to No. 18 Texas and No. 2 TCU this past weekend.
The Pokes are one of five Big 12 teams in the top 20 as the conference continues to be one of the most talented leagues in the country.
In a new batch of singles rankings, All-American Julian Cash checks in at No. 59 with Cowboys Arjun Kadhe and Jurence Mendoza sitting at No. 119 and No. 125, respectively.
A new doubles poll was released as well, with All-American duo Arjun Kadhe/Julian Cash finding itself back in the top five for the third time this season. OSU's Lucas Gerch/Temur Ismailov also hold a spot in the doubles rankings checking in at No. 65.
With two Big 12 matches completed, the Cowboys last three conference matches will all be played at the Greenwood Tennis Center with two of them coming this weekend against No. 10 Texas Tech on Friday at 6 p.m. CT and No. 37 Baylor on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. CT. College MatchDay returns to Stillwater on Sunday for the match against the Bears, which will be televised on Fox Sports 2.
