Series HistoryÂ
Oklahoma State holds a 42-6 all-time record against the Wildcats and is 20-2 in Manhattan. OSU holds a 35-17 all-time record against Kansas and is 15-6 in Lawrence. The last time OSU played Kansas State was in 2019 when the Cowgirls defeated the Wildcats, 4-0. The last time OSU faced Kansas dates back in the 2018-19 season, when the Cowgirls were defeated by the Jayhawks, 4-2.Â
Oklahoma State from a Distance Â
Oklahoma State is 9-10 and battle-tested as they continue this season, having faced eight top-25 opponents this season. OSU began the season with back-to-back victories over Missouri. The Cowgirls dropped three straight when they returned to action short-handed at the ITA Indoor National Championships due to Covid-19 contact tracing and return protocol. Following the Indoor Championships, OSU earned three consecutive victories before losing a pair of matches to Pepperdine and USC. The Cowgirls dropped its first three conference matches against No. 2 Texas and No. 11 Baylor, each 6-1. Next, OSU fell to Texas Tech, 4-3, in a match that came down to a third-set tiebreaker on court six. The Cowgirls responded to a slow start in conference play by sweeping TCU, 7-0, to earn the first conference win of the season and win number 200 for head coach Chris Young at OSU. Last weekend OSU dropped two straight, with the first at the hands of Oklahoma, 4-0, earning the Sooners its first Bedlam win since 2014. A day later OSU would drop a hard-fought match vs. UCF, 4-2. OSU enters this weekends matches off momentum after two dominating victories over Wichita State and Iowa State. The biggest storyline has been the emergence of Bunyawi Thamchaiwat who leads OSU on court one in singles action, holding an 10-2 record and having been defeated only twice in the last two seasons. Â
