DES MOINES, Iowa – Oklahoma State's third-ranked women's tennis team earned a dominant 4-0 victory over Old Dominion on Sunday in Des Moines, Iowa, to wrap up ITA Kickoff Weekend.

With the win, the Cowgirl advance to the ITA Indoor National Championships that will take place in Seattle, Washington, from Feb. 8-12. They also improve to 4-0 on the year, marking OSU's best start to a season since 2020.

The day began with doubles, where the Cowgirls only lost two games in three matches. Raquel Gonzalez and Ayumi Miyamoto were the first to turn in a victory, beating Allison Isaacs and Alexandra Viktorovich, 6-0.

Kristina Novak and Safiya Carrington's match on court three went unfinished, with the Cowgirls leading Kira Matushkina and Ulyana Romanova, 5-1.

Entering singles with a 1-0 lead in the match, OSU continued to flex its muscle. No. 53 Lucia Peyre captured the first point for the Cowgirls, defeating Matushkina, 6-0, 6-2.
