Tulsa defeated Arkansas women’s tennis team 4-1 in the first round of the NCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Championship at the Oklahoma State Regional on Friday.
“It’s a tough feeling not to advance today, but we congratulate Tulsa for its performance,” Coach Michael Hegarty said. “We had some very close first sets that didn’t fall our way, and with the margin so small between these two teams, that was ultimately the difference.”
The Golden Hurricane (22-4) won the doubles point and picked up three singles victories.
Arkansas sophomore Mia Jurasic scored the lone point for the Razorbacks (16-14) by earning a 6-0, 6-4 victory at No. 5 singles, which improved her dual-match record to a team-best 15-8. Tulsa notched back-to-back victories at the No. 2 and 6 spots to clinch the overall match.
