1/29/2015 | Women's Tennis
OXFORD, Miss. - Moving up a spot to No. 24 after sweeping Jackson State last weekend, the Ole Miss women's tennis team (4-0) hits the road this weekend to take on No. 16 Oklahoma State. The match begins at 1 p.m., Saturday at the Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
"It's exciting to be 4-0, we've got a couple of ranked wins against teams in the top 50 RPI," head coach Mark Beyers said. "Now the level goes up a notch beginning this weekend with Oklahoma State. They have a great team, but so do we. It should be a great college tennis match, and I am looking forward to seeing our team against that level of competition."

The Rebels only dropped 11 games in the five singles matches played, including shutouts from Marija Milutinovic at No. 5 and Mai El Kamash at No. 2.
