The streak was nearly over.
Before the No. 15 Oklahoma State women’s tennis team stormed back to beat No. 22 Arizona State 4-3 in the opening round of the ITA Kickoff Weekend, the Cowgirls were on the verge of losing at home for the first time since March 2015.
Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center was deflated. After losing the doubles point and dropping matches on Courts 5 and 6, OSU (4-0) found itself in a deficit not many have come out of in college tennis, down 3-0. Junior transfer Marina Guinart lost her first set 2-6, and senior Vladica Babic couldn’t grasp an important win in her first set, dropping it 7-6(9).
