Central Oklahoma Blanks Fort Hays State

EDMOND – No. 6 Central Oklahoma continued MIAA play Thursday with a league dual against Fort Hays State and the Bronchos continued their dominant run with another 7-0 shutout.
 
Central Oklahoma improved to 12-1 on the season following the win and the Bronchos are now 5-0 in the MIAA. UCO has won four consecutive league matches 7-0 and has outscored its competition in conference play 34-1 through five matches.
 
"We played well again today and that was important to start off the week with a win," UCO head tennis coach Joe Vann said. "We have a busy week with some tough competition and the team did a good job today getting us started on the right track."
 
Vann shuffled his lineup against Fort Hays State (6-10, 0-6 MIAA) and the results didn't change.
 
Adel-Byanu Abidullina and Tizia Brocks played at No. 1 doubles for the first time this season and the duo won 6-1. The two improved to 12-1 overall as a team with their sixth consecutive victory.
 
Grace Chadick and Lexi Penn teamed up at No. 3 doubles and they picked up a 6-2 win. Nikkiy Boyar and Blythe Buntrock were ahead 4-3 at No. 2 doubles when Central clinched the point.
 
UCO with a 1-0 lead heading to singles play didn't waste much time putting the match away.
 
Mae Canete, ranked No. 3 in the country, won 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1 singles, Chadick won by the same score, and Penn also won by a count of 6-0, 6-0.
 
UCO also got a 6-1, 6-3 win at No. 3 singles from Brocks and a 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 5 singles by Boyar.
 
Buntrock lost her first set at No. 4 singles but responded with a 6-3 win in the second set and a 10-7 win the tiebreaker to secure yet another shutout for the Bronchos.
