Aggies Down No. 12 Oklahoma to Remain Undefeated in SEC Play
Mar 02, 2025 | Women's Tennis
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The No. 5 Texas A&M women's tennis team downed No. 12 Oklahoma, 6-1, Sunday at the Mitchell Tennis Center for its third straight SEC victory, becoming one of only four conference teams that remain undefeated.
Texas A&M (12-1, 3-0 SEC) captured the first point of the match in doubles, taking wins on courts 2 and 3. Nicole Khirin/Lexington Reed set the tone early, defeating Julia Garcia Ruiz/Ava Catanzarite 6-2. Lucciana Perez/Lizanne Boyer followed with a 6-4 victory over Salakthip Ounmuang/Emma Ghirardato to secure a 1-0 lead.
Oklahoma (8-3, 1-2 SEC) responded with a point of their own on court 6, but Reed answered with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over No. 105 Catanzarite to take back the lead.
No. 15 Khirin was the next to score for the Maroon & White, triumphing over No. 33 Alina Shcherbinina 7-6(2), 6-3 for her ninth ranked win of the season.
No. 90 Mia Kupres dealt the clinching blow on Jane Wright '76 court, besting No. 12 Garcia Ruiz 6-4, 6-4, extending her winning streak to six matches.
After the match was clinched, two more Aggies added points to the board. No. 55 Perez took down Ounmuang on court 3 (6-2, 7-6) and Daria Smetannikov completed her comeback versus No. 64 Emma Staker in a super-tiebreaker on court 4, winning 2-6, 7-6, 1-0(6).

COACH'S QUOTES
Head coach Mark Weaver
On the importance of every match…
"Every match is important. Oklahoma is one of the best teams in the country. They had us on the ropes just a few weeks ago at the national indoors, so to come out today with a 6-1 win without arguably the best player in the country, Mary Stoiana not playing because she was out with an illness– I'm just proud of the girls. These SEC matches are just battles, no matter what team you're playing, you have to be ready to bring it."
On Lexington's growth…
"I'm proud of Lexington today. She probably hasn't played in these conditions all that much, so it was a bit of a learning experience for her out there and she made some great adjustments after the first set. Lexington is growing every day. If she was playing that match five or six weeks ago she probably doesn't turn that match around. So to turn it around the way she did and run away with it in the second and third set, you can see she's really growing mentally and physically out there on the tennis court."
