STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State's Ayumi Miyamoto was among those honored on Monday by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, earning the organization's Central Regional Rookie of the Year honor.
Last month, Miyamoto and doubles partner Lisa Marie Rioux were named ITA All-Americans after finishing the year ranked No. 5 in the Oracle/ITA Division I Women's Rankings. The duo finished the year with an 11-0 mark.
Additionally, the freshman from Chiba, Japan posted a 6-4 record in singles play for the Cowgirls, who finished the season with an 11-1 mark and a No. 14 national ranking.
