No. 3 Central Oklahoma Destroys Dallas Baptist

OKLAHOMA CITY – No. 3 Central Oklahoma punished Dallas Baptist on Saturday, winning the non-conference indoor match 7-0 at Lifetime Fitness Tennis Center.

"Today we played another solid team from the Lone Star Conference and a great ball making team," UCO head tennis coach Joe Vann said. "They really made us have to finish points during play and focus on being forward in the court. And the girls did that. We played well today."

UCO swept doubles play to go up 1-0 before cruising through singles play for the shutout.

Adel-Byanu Abidullina and Tizia Brocks teamed up for the second time in as many duals Saturday and the powerful duo won 6-1 at the No. 2 position.

Mae Canete and Christine Canete also won 6-1 at the No. 1 position and Blythe Buntrock and Nikki Boyar won 6-3 at the No. 3 spot.

Abidullina was the first to finish in singles play too. After the short break, she got on the court at No. 3 and demolished the opposition 6-1, 6-0.

Mae Canete won 6-2, 6-0 at No. 1 singles to give Central a 3-0 lead in the match and then Brocks clinched the win with a 6-1, 6-1 triumph at No. 4.

Christine Canete won 6-4, 6-3 at No. 2 singles, Buntrock won 6-3, 6-1 at No. 5, and Boyar won 6-3, 6-4 at the No. 6 spot to finish off the sweep of DBU.
