The Oklahoma Sooner Women's Tennis Team (Ranked #22) won their road match against Iowa State 7-0 in just about an efficient match as they can play. The Sooners won the Doubles point with wins at #1 and #2 matches both by the score of 6-1. Match #3 had the Sooners was on serve at 3-4 when play was stopped.

In the Singles, The Sooners won all 6 matches in 2 straight sets. It was a very good, efficient and quick win for the Sooner Women. The win raised the Sooners to 6-2 in the Big 12 play and are in 5th place.

The Sooners play at Kansas on Saturday at Noon. The team is actually staying at the same hotel that we are staying at in Lawrence. I was able to talk to some of the team last night. They were happy about their win over I-State and are looking forward to facing Kansas on Saturday. They seemed happy that I knew 3 of them by name (I messed up on one) and that I knew about their play. I was happy to say hello to them.
