OU Topples Tulsa 6-1
January 22, 2021 | Women's Tennis
NORMAN – The OU women's tennis team improved to 3-0 on the season with a dominant 6-1 win over in-state rival Tulsa Friday.
"I think we're getting better with every match. We're finding ways to put ourselves in a position to play our best tennis," said OU head coach Audra Cohen.
"If we get out there and we're not playing our best right away, we're finding a way to leave the court playing our best tennis. I'm really proud of this group."
OU took the doubles point for the third straight match, highlighted by a 6-0 win by the Corley sisters at the top spot. Carmen Corley and Ivana Corley shut out the No. 22 pair in the nation in Tulsa's Martina Okalova and Vera Ploner.
South American Sooners Martina Capurro and Dana Guzman clinched the opening point for OU with a 6-1 victory over Shura Poppe and Meghan Hopton on court two, marking the third straight match the duo secured the doubles point.
When play was halted, OU's Marcelina Podlinska and Kianah Motosono were locked in at 4-all with Laia Conde Monfort and Valeryia Rozenkova.
In singles, Guzman improved to 3-0 on the season as the freshman downed Tulsa's Ploner 6-3, 6-2 on court four. Guzman led the entire match and sealed it with an ace.
Motosono make quick work of Lian Benedejcic, claiming court six 6-2, 6-2. Ivana Corley sealed the deal for the Sooners with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Conde Monfort on court three.
The remaining matches played out. At the top spot, Carmen Corley notched another ranked victory on the day as she defeated No. 86 Okalova 2-6, 6-2, 6-1.
Podlinska defeated Rozenkova at the five spot. The Sooner gave up her first set 6-3, but turned the tables in the second frame, winning it 6-0 to force a deciding set. Podlinska powered through it 6-2.
On court two, Capurro fell to Tulsa's Poppe after a 10-point tiebreaker, 6-2, 6-7 (4), 1-0 [8].
