OXFORD – The No. 13 Texas A&M women's tennis team secured its fourth-straight conference win over the Rebels, 6-1, Sunday, at the Palmer Salloum Tennis Centre.

Court 3 got things started for the Aggies (12-5, 4-0 SEC), as Nicole Khirin/Sydney Fitch downed the Rebels' (8-3 2-1 SEC) Lucie Devier/AndreaNova (6-1) to give A&M the leg up. Ole Miss answered back with a court of their own to even the doubles score. No. 6 Mia Kupres/Mary Stoiana made the difference, stealing the doubles point with a win over No.79 Ava Hrastar/Briana Crowley (6-4) on court 1.

No. 30 Kupres kept the momentum rolling into singles action, taking court 3 over Briana Crowley (6-2, 6-2), marking her 10th dual match singles win of the season to double the Aggie lead.

Increasing the advantage, No. 1 Stoiana picked up her second win of the day and eighth-straight singles victory on court 1 against Ludmila Kareisova (6-1, 6-2).

Clinching the Aggies' 30th-consecutive SEC regular season match, on court 6 Jeanette Mireles defeated Emma Kette (6-4, 6-2) for her sixth-straight singles win.

Playing out the rest of the matches, No. 17 Khirin secured her 10th-straight singles victory coming back from one-set deficit over Ava Hrastar (2-6, 6-0, 6-3) on court 2 and Daria Smetannikov defeated Rachel Krzyzak (6-4, 0-6, 6-3) in a three-set thriller to ensure the 6-1 result.
