STILLWATER – Four members of the Oklahoma State women's tennis team earned individual rankings in the latest singles and doubles polls released by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association on Wednesday.
Junior Lisa Marie Rioux earned the highest singles ranking of any Cowgirl as she jumped 27 spots to come in at No. 16. Rioux finishes an impressive fall season in which she was crowned the ITA Central Regional champion in both singles and doubles.
Sophomore Bunyawi Thamchaiwat also made a noticeable jump in rankings as she went from No. 67 to No. 29 in the latest ITA rankings. Thamchaiwat had the longest tournament run of any Cowgirl during the ITA National Fall Championships as she advanced to the round of 16.
