TULSA, Okla. (Jan. 19, 2020) – The Wyoming tennis team suffered its first setback of the spring season Sunday morning down in Tulsa, Okla., as the Cowgirls closed their two-day event at the University of Tulsa with a 6-1 loss to Tulsa.
Clara Mansart had the lone win for the Brown and Gold in her first appearance of the spring, as she won at number six singles in a hard-fought, three-set thriller. Mansart defeated Marina Davtyan 6-4, 3-6 and 1-0 (12-10).
The Cowgirls did have success earlier in the day, as they swept the doubles portion of their match against Louisiana Tech, pushing their victory to a 5-1 win in a match that they clinched yesterday.
The tandems of Kaftanova and Krause at No. 1 doubles, Balaba and Oreshkina at No. 2 and Mansart and Royo at No. 3 were all impressive in their matches against the Lady Bulldogs. Kaftanova and Krause blanked Nadja Manjon and Andrea Perez, 6-0. Balaba and Oreshkina defeated Ana Jover and Claudia Oravcova 6-2 and Mansart and Royo took down Ilana Tetrushvili and Alexia Romero, 6-3.
The Cowgirls are now off the rest of January and return to action February 7 and 8 as they will travel to Bozeman, Mont., to face Montana State and Seattle.
