The Sooners fell behind to start the match after dropping the doubles point to the Cowboys. Freshman Kholo Montsi and sophomore Luis Alvarez dropped their set 3-6. With courts one and three each at 4-5 with a deuce point, a loss for the fifth-year senior pair and No. 52 Alex Martinez and Baptiste Anselmo to No. 19 pair Isaac Becroft and Tyler Zink ultimately gave OSUthe early lead.

A 6-3, 6-3 win at the six line for fifth-year senior Mark Mandlik gave the Sooners the lead, followed by a 6-4, 6-1 win for Alvarez to extend the lead.

Junior Jordan Hasson came back from trailing 0-4 in the second set to clinch the match with a 6-4, 7-5 win at the three line over No. 83 Alex Garcia. To close out the match, No. 10 Martinez took a 6-0, 3-6, 6-3 win over No. 20 Tyler Zink.
