March 07, 2017 | Cowgirl Tennis
STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State women's tennis team rose four spots to No. 7 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association team rankings this week. The Cowgirls also have six players ranked in singles and four ranked doubles teams.
Â
The Cowgirls (10-3) are coming off a weekend in which they picked up a couple of wins over No. 25 Washington and No. 38 Northwestern in Seattle. OSU overwhelmed the Huskies, 6-1, on Friday before bouncing back from dropping only their second doubles point of the season against Northwestern on Saturday by picking up five straight-set wins in singles to get the 5-2 win.
Â
Senior Viktoriya Lushkova remains in the top 10 of the ITA singles rankings this week, coming in at No. 10. Lushkova has turned in a spectacular senior season thus far, compiling a 17-7 overall mark in singles to reach 90 wins for her career and counting.
Â
Freshman Aliona Bolsova made an 11-point rise up the poll to No. 43 this week after splitting matches at the No. 3 singles spot last weekend. Bolsova has had an impressive opening to her collegiate career thus far, racking up a team-leading 18 wins on the year.
Â
Seniors Carla Tur Mari and Katarina Adamovic come in at Nos. 68 and 76, respectively, while junior Vladica Babic finds herself at No. 92 and sophomore Sofia Blanco is ranked No. 122.
Â
 In doubles, four Cowgirl tandems are ranked in the top 40, led by Babic and Tur Mari at No. 6. The OSU duo has teamed up for a 16-4 overall record this season, including a 7-3 dual mark competing in the top doubles spot.
Â
Lushkova and Adamovic moved up two spots to No. 32 after picking up a pair of wins last weekend to move to 10-2 on the season.
Â
Bolsova and Blanco are slotted at No. 37 this week. The Cowgirl pair are 18-6 overall on the year and have won eight of their last 10 matches.
Â
The Cowgirls return home to the Greenwood Tennis Center for the first time since Jan. 29 when they host No. 10 Baylor this Thursday at 5 p.m. It will mark the second top-10 women's matchup in facility history.
