Kansas’ undefeated conference road streak continued as the women’s tennis team (4-9 overall, 3-2 Big 12 Conference) defeated Oklahoma State, 4-3, in Stillwater, Okla., on March 19.

The Jayhawks are 3-0 in the Big 12 Conference on the road this year.

Kansas swept the doubles competition against Oklahoma State winning all three matches.

“I thought we competed well and I am very proud of our team,” coach Amy Hall-Holt said.

In the No. 1 doubles slot, sophomore Brittany Brown and freshman Lauren Hommell won their match by default against Oklahoma State freshmen Iryna Tkachenko and Jana Kubicikova, 1-4.

Kansas duo junior Christine Skoda and sophomore Ashley Filberth continued their solid play, knocking off sophomore Lauren Simmons and freshman Jessica Collins, 8-3.

Together, Skoda and Filberth have won five of nine matches this season.

Rounding out the doubles sweep, freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva and junior Luiza Loureiro ousted Zana Masnic and Sandra Blajer, 9-7.

Skoda, who was named Big 12 Conference Player of the Week for last week, added to her singles victory total by defeating junior Zana Masnic in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. Skoda is riding a four-match win streak.

Freshman Stephanie Smith defeated junior Sandra Blajer, 7-6 (4), 6-2.

Hommell delivered the final victory and secured the Jayhawks overall team victory by defeating freshman Jessica Collins, 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.

“After winning two in a row, our confidence is up a lot and we know that we can compete against teams in the Big 12,” Hall-Holt said.

The day before, versus nationally ranked Oklahoma, the Jayhawks dropped all three doubles matches but rallied to defeat the Sooners, 4-3, in Norman, Okla.

Kansas won four of six singles matches, propelling the Jayhawks to victory. Avdeeva needed three sets to take out senior Heather Saluri, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Skoda and Brown all contributed with straight set wins, while Smith helped Kansas with the overall victory by defeating freshman Chelsea Orr, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5.

“This is what we have been working for all season,” Hall-Holt said. “I am confident that we will continue to compete at this level of play.”
