CHAMPAIGN – The No. 2 Texas A&M women's tennis defeated the No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners in Saturday's ITA National Team Indoor Championship action at Atkins Tennis Center, earning a spot in the semifinals for the third time in the last four seasons.

Anna Perelman, a freshman from Moscow, Russia, clinched the match, rallying for a thrilling 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Barakat Quadre on court 6.

Texas A&M (8-1) split the opening courts in doubles play, as Oklahoma (8-1) claimed two matches to secure the opening point, 1-0. Laura Brunkel/Quadre defeated Lexington Reed/Daria Smetannikov on court 3, 6-2. The Aggies answered on court 1 behind a 7-5 victory from Mia Kupres/Lucciana Perez over Roisin Gilheany/Evialina Laskevich. The Sooners clinched the doubles point on the final court, as Salakthip Ounmuang/Julia Garcia Ruiz picked up a narrow, 7-5, decision against Violeta Martinez/Perelman.

The Maroon & White gained momentum early in singles play as Reed knocked out a quick 6-3, 6-3 victory over No. 123 Chloe Noel on court 3. A&M added to its total shortly after on court 5, where Smetannikov posted a 6-1, 6-3 win against Ounmuang. The Aggies continued to build their lead on court 2 behind No. 41 Lucciana Perez, who earned a 6-3, 6-4 victory over No. 12 Garcia Ruiz. The Lima, Peru, native improved to 8-0 in dual singles action this season.

Oklahoma answered on court 4 as Mamedova claimed a straight-set win over Martinez, 7-6, 6-3, before Perelman finished things off on court 6.

Kupres was locked in a three-set contest with Laskevich on court 1 when the match concluded.

TEXAS A&M QUOTES
Head Coach Mark Weaver
On the match...
"This was a remarkable effort for our team. I honestly thinks this ranks as one of our better wins in that I can recall. There were a lot of heroes, but what amazing composure by our freshman Anna Perelman to push us across the finish line. She had a match point at 5-3 deuce that didn't go our way, and she did a great job of staying in the moment and pulled out the 5-4 deuce game to seal the deal for the Aggies. To drop the doubles point against one of the best teams in the nation and to respond the way we responded says a whole lot about our group's resiliency."

UP NEXT...
The Aggies return to action Monday when they face No. 10 Ohio State in a 6:30 p.m. contest at Combe Tennis Center in Evanston, Illinois.
