April 30, 2019 | Cowgirl Tennis
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State women's tennis players Katarina Stresnakova, Sofia Blanco and Catherine Gulihur were selected to compete in the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships, the NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Subcommittee announced Tuesday.
Stresnakova was selected for singles play as one of 49 at-large bids, and doubles tandem Blanco and Gulihur also received an at-large bid.
It marks the third-consecutive year in which OSU has fielded a singles and doubles team at the event. Blanco returns after making a run to the finals with partner Vladica Babic in 2018 and earning All-America status. It's the first trip to the tournament for senior Stresnakova and freshman Catherine Gulihur.
Singles and doubles contests will be conducted May 20-25 at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida after the team championships conclude. The University of Central Florida and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission are set to host the event.
Blanco and Gulihur have compiled a 12-4 dual record this season with only one loss in Big 12 play at the No. 1 spot for the Cowgirls. In singles, Stresnakova has upended six ranked opponents and gone 12-10.
Automatic qualification into the Division I singles championship is awarded to any conference with one or more eligible singles players ranked in the ITA Top 125 for eligible/entered singles players. For conferences with more than one singles player within the ITA Top 125 eligible/entered singles players, the subcommittee applies the NCAA selection criteria to determine which student-athlete is the automatic qualifier from those conferences. All singles players must have a minimum of 13 started singles matches, with six matches in the spring, in order to be selected as an automatic qualifier or an at-large selection.
Automatic qualification into the Division I doubles championship is awarded to any conference with one or more eligible doubles teams ranked in the ITA Top 60 for eligible/entered doubles teams. For conferences with more than one doubles team within the ITA Top 60 eligible/entered doubles teams, the subcommittee applies the NCAA selection criteria to determine which doubles team is the automatic qualifier from those conferences. All doubles teams must have started a minimum of 10 doubles matches, with a minimum of four matches in the spring, in order to be selected as an automatic qualifier or an at-large selection.
