STILLWATER – Texas A&M's No. 4 seeded doubles team consisting of Mary Stoiana and Mia Kupres advanced to the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament, while No. 1 seeded Stoiana also reached the round of 16 in the singles bracket Tuesday at the Greenwood Tennis Center.
Â
Stoiana continued her run of dominant singles performances in the second round, claiming her 15th-straight singles victory over NC State's No. 62 Anna Zyryanova in straight sets (6-2, 6-2).
Â
Kupres/Stoiana opened their doubles campaign at the national event against Syracuse's No. 35 Miyuka Kimoto/Viktoryia Kanapatskaya. The Orange jumped out to an early lead after taking the first set 6-4, but the Aggies rallied back to dominate the second set, 6-1. The duo carried that momentum into the decider, closing out the match 10-4 in a super-tiebreaker set to advance to the round of 16.

Kupres' singles campaign came to an end, as she fell to Stanford's No. 7 seeded Connie Ma in the second round. The sophomore finished her season with a 23-9 singles record.
