LAWTON – The Cameron tennis programs played their first home match of the spring hosting Cowley County College on Monday with the Aggie women winning 6-1 and the men losing by the same score.
Both Aggie squads have played some tough teams to start their spring and the case was the same at the Streich-Henry Tennis Complex on Monday when a pair of top-3 ranked Tiger teams came to town. The CU women were able to come away with a dominant win while the men had a harder time with their JUCO counterpart.
In the women's match, Cameron came away with all three doubles wins with
Vasilisa Polunova and
Karolina Glowinska winning 6-0 at two,
Anastasia Uspenskaia and
Magda Wawrowska winning 6-3 at one and
Lea Manga and
Kateryna Rudenko also winning 6-3 at three.
Uspenskaia and Rudenko both made quick work of their matches at three and four to give the Aggies a 3-0 lead and then
Julianne Garcia sealed the win with a 6-1, 6-4, win at six. Glowinska also won in two sets while Manga came back from a first set loss to win her match at two in three frames. Polunova and opponent Isid Hernandez battled at one, but Hernandez won the third set 14-12 to earn the point.
Cameron's men earned just one win in doubles play against the Tigers with
Thomas Cardona and
Tomas Almeida winning 6-3 at the three spot.
Alvaro Chavez and
Joao Duleba fought hard at two but fell 6-4 to their Cowley opponents.
Cardona was the only Aggie to earn a win in singles, winning 6-4, 6-2 at the three spot. The rest of the five matches were decided in two sets with the Tigers coming away on top 6-1.
Later this week the two teams will be competing for the first time this spring against different opponents. The 3-2 CU women are scheduled to take on Columbus State in Oklahoma City on Thursday, Feb. 24, while the men are next scheduled to play Newman on Saturday, Feb. 26.
