STILLWATER – Oklahoma State's women's tennis team has signed Olivia Lincer to its roster for the 2025-26 season, as was announced on Tuesday by head coach Chris Young.
A transfer from UCF, Lincer joins the Cowgirls as the reigning Big 12 Player of the Year after being named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year a season prior. The upcoming junior also earned All-Big 12 First Team honors in singles and doubles in 2025 and was named to the 2024 All-Big 12 Freshman Team.
Playing the majority of her matches on court one, Lincer went 15-2 in singles and 11-11 in doubles during the dual season for the Knights. She collected two ranked singles wins and four ranked doubles wins on her way to reaching No. 19 in the national doubles poll.
During her freshman season, Lincer went 7-10 in singles and 5-11 in doubles to earn her multiple conference honors. Five of her singles wins came in conference play, and she notched a win against Kansas at the Big 12 Championships in Stillwater.
Prior to entering collegiate tennis, Lincer ranked as the No. 5 recruit in her class and reached the Round of 16 at the 2022 Wimbledon Juniors. She also ranked as high as the No. 1 junior and No. 8 female player in Poland and entered college with four singles titles and two doubles titles on her resume.
