TOPEKA, Kan. - The University of Central Oklahoma tennis team came up on the short side of a 4-3 dual Saturday, with the seventh-ranked Bronchos losing to the sixth-ranked Washburn Ichabods in Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association play.

In singles play, Washburn recovered from a deficit by winning at No. 2, No. 5, and No. 6 to take a 3-1 lead in the match. 

Abidullina won at No. 1 singles. The 26th-ranked freshman won 6-3, 6-2 over her 18th-ranked opponent. That made it 3-2. But Washburn then got a win at No. 5 to clinch the match.
