WACO – The No. 2 Texas A&M women's tennis team claimed a spot in the ITA National Team Indoor Championship with a 4-0 victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils Tuesday at Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center.

The Aggies improved to 5-0 and have yet to drop a point in the spring campaign. With the victory, Texas A&M claimed a spot at the Indoor Championships February 6-10 in Illinois.

Scrappy play earned the Aggies the double point. After dropping a 6-4 decision on court 3 with Lexington Reed/Daria Smetannikov falling to Zlata Bartanusz/Sara Svetac, the Maroon & White stormed the other two courts to prevail by identical 6-4 tallies. First #76 Violeta Martinez/Anna Perelman dropped Karsyn Evans/Lily Taylor on court 2 and Mia Kupres/Lucciana Perez clinched on court 1, triumphing over Emilija Tverijonaite/Vivian Ovrootsky on court 1.

Smetannikov kept the momentum on the Aggies side, making quick work of Bartanusz, 6-0, 6-2 on court 5. Reed put the Maroon & White on the brink of victory with her 6-3, 6-3 win over Svetac on court 3. A double-fault ended the match as Perelman triumphed over Evans on court 6, 6-2, 6-4.

No. 34 Kupres and Perez were nearing match point on court 1 and court 2, respectively, when the contest ended.
