Sooners Too Much For Regional Opponents

The Sooners were back in action the next day against Southwest Missouri State in Springfield, Mo. Oklahoma took four of six singles matches to hand the winless Bears their third loss of the season, 4-2. Those two victories pushed OU's record against Region V teams to 3-0.

OU added a match against Cowley County Community College on Feb. 21 at the Oak Tree Country Club in Edmond, Okla. The Sooners recorded their fifth shutout with 7-0 victory.

Garrison And Mitchell Still Undefeated In Match Play
