A tough test awaits the newcomers of the Oklahoma State women’s tennis team.
The No. 10 Cowgirls will host No. 21 Virginia at 4 p.m. Friday at Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center in the opening round of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kickoff event.
Should OSU win, it will face the winner of No. 16 Kansas and No. 18 Illinois at 2 p.m. Saturday for a ticket to the ITA National Indoor Championship in Seattle, Washington. The two losers from Friday will compete in the consolation round at 11 a.m on Saturday.
OSU (2-1) will host the kickoff event for the fourth consecutive year as it looks to erase the bad memory from last year.
