Cowboys Rise Again in ITA Rankings
January 31, 2018 | Cowboy Tennis
STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State men's tennis team moved up three spots in the latest edition of the Oracle/ITA Collegiate Tennis Men's Division I Rankings, which were released today. The team now comes in at No. 11. Wednesday's rankings mark the 35th consecutive week that the Cowboys have been ranked inside the top-25 of the ITA rankings, which is the longest such streak during head coach Jay Udwadia's tenure.
The new ranking comes as no surprise as the Cowboys defeated No. 13 Mississippi State last week in the ITA Kickoff Weekend regional championship match, 4-1.
There were no updated singles or doubles rankings released on Wednesday, meaning that a trio of Cowboys held onto their spots in the individual rankings. OSU's doubles duo of Julian Cash and Maxim Tybar at No. 30 and Mathieu Scaglia at No. 93 in singles. The ITA will release updated singles and doubles rankings next week.
Cash and Tybar only recorded one win this season, but it came at the Saint Francis Health System ITA Men's All-American Championships against Louisville's No. 6 ranked Christopher Morin-Kougoucheff and Parker Wynn. The Cowboy duo had a quality loss in the second round of the main draw to the No. 3 ranked William Blumberg and Robert Kelly of North Carolina.
Sophomore Mathieu Scaglia came in at No. 93 after racking up 10 singles wins in the fall season. Scaglia went undefeated at the Silverado Resort and Spa's College Invitational to help the team win the tournament to kick off the season. He then fought his way through the pre-qualifying round of the Saint Francis Health System ITA Men's All-American Championships to reach the qualifying round where he won in the first round but fell in the second round to No. 37 ranked Leo Telles of Big 12 foe Texas. Scaglia also found success at the ITA Central Regional with his only other loss of the season coming from No. 17 Ferran Calvo of Oklahoma in the round of 32.
In addition to being ranked No. 11 by the ITA, the Cowboys we're also ranked No. 11 by the USTA, today. This is the USTA rankings' second season with an expanded voter panel, after a year in which the Virginia men and Florida women each began the year at No. 1 and finished 2017 as NCAA Champions.
The Cowboys' spring season is set to continue on Sunday as OSU hosts No. 20 Tulane at the Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center at 1 p.m.
