January 13, 2017 | Cowgirl Tennis
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Oklahoma State women's tennis players Viktoriya Lushkova and Aliona Bolsova both picked up singles wins on day one of the Freeman Memorial Tennis Championships at the Fertitta Tennis Complex Friday afternoon. A handful of Cowgirls were scheduled to begin play at the National Collegiate Tennis Classic in Palm Springs, Calif., as well on Friday, but play was cancelled for the day due to rain.
Â
The Cowgirls in Las Vegas were also forced to wait out a four-hour rain delay Friday morning, but competition was able to begin around 2 p.m. PT. The teams completed a round of singles and doubles before play was suspended for the evening.
Â
Viktoriya Lushkova, the 11th-ranked player in the nation, was able to pick up a three set victory over North Carolina's Cassandra Vazquez in her first-round match. The Cowgirl bounced back from a 6-3 loss in the first set to take the following two easily, 6-1, 6-1, to move on. Lushkova, now 9-3, on the young season, will face UCLA's Alaina Miller in the round of 16 on Saturday at 11 a.m. PT.
Â
Freshman Aliona Bolsova coasted in her round of 32 match to advance as well, dropping Chloe Oullet-Pizer of North Carolina, 6-0, 6-2, to earn the 10th singles win of her career. Bolsova will take on UCLA's Ena Shibahara in her second-round match on Saturday[EH1]Â .
Â
Sophomore Sofia Blanco put up a tough fight against eighth-ranked Luisa Stefani of Pepperdine Friday, taking the first set, 7-5, before being outlasted in a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 match. Senior Katarina Adamovic came up short, 7-5, 6-2, to Florida's Ingrid Neel in her round of 32 match.
Â
In doubles, Bolsova and Blanco dropped a hard-fought match to the second-ranked tandem of Jessie Aney and Hayley Carter of North Carolina. Lushkova and Adamovic fell, 6-3, to Florida's Ingrid Neel and Anna Danilina.
Â
The Cowgirls will return to the Fertitta Tennis Complex on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. PT, opening the day with consolation doubles. Two rounds of singles are scheduled to follow doubles play.
Â
Action in Palm Springs at the National Collegiate Tennis Classic is set to begin at 8 a.m. PT. Fans can tune in on FloTennis.com for a subscription fee.
