NORMAN – The No. 7 Oklahoma women's tennis team continued its historic run Thursday evening, defeating No. 2 Texas A&M, 4-1, at the Headington Family Tennis Center. The victory marked the Sooners' 12th consecutive win and their fifth top-10 victory of the season.

With the win, Oklahoma improves to 22-4 overall and 12-2 in SEC play, while also securing its seventh top-25 victory of the year. The Sooners have now defeated both the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the nation in the same season for the first time in program history, following their win over top-ranked Georgia on March 29.

Oklahoma once again set the tone in doubles, securing the opening point. Julia Garcia Ruiz and Salakthip Ounmuang delivered a dominant 6-1 win over Violeta Martinez and Anna Perelman at the No. 3 position, improving to 18-2 together this spring and extending their winning streak to 10 matches.

The No. 15 duo of Evialina Laskevich and Edda Mamedova clinched the doubles point with a 6-4 victory over Lexington Reed and Daria Smetannikov at court two, improving to 13-2 on the season.

Oklahoma's doubles dominance continued, as the Sooners improved to an impressive 48-6 (.889) overall in doubles matches this spring.

In singles, Oklahoma struck first as No. 54 Mamedova was first off the court, defeating No. 35 Mia Kupres, 6-2, to give the Sooners a 2-0 advantage. The win marked her third ranked singles victory of the season.

Texas A&M answered at the top position, as No. 1 Lucciana Perez topped No. 10 Evialina Laskevich to cut the lead to 2-1.

No. 64 Garcia Ruiz responded for Oklahoma, earning a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Reed at the No. 3 spot to extend the Sooners' lead to 3-1.

Ounmuang then clinched the match at court five, battling to a 7-6 (10), 6-3 win over No. 84 Smetannikov. The victory improved Ounmuang to 14-3 in singles this spring and secured the 4-1 win for Oklahoma.

OU will return to the Headington Family Tennis Center on Sunday to host No. 6 Texas for Senior Day. First serve is set for noon CT. The matchup will mark the second meeting between the two programs this season, as the Sooners outlasted the Longhorns, 4-3, in the first round of the ITA Indoor Championships in Champaign, Ill., in February.
