STILLWATER – Oklahoma State's women's tennis team ranked fifth in Wednesday's ITA rankings, up one spot from the previous poll.

Other Big 12 teams appearing in this week's poll include Texas at No. 6and Oklahoma at No. 13. The Cowgirls will take on three top-15 teams in the next three weeks, with No. 4 Michigan, No. 14 Ohio State and No. 7 Pepperdine all schedules to visit the Greenwood Tennis Center.
Oklahoma State coming off a weekend in Las Vegas, competing in the Freeman Memorial Invitational for three days.
