TULSA, Okla. ― The 48th ranked Tulsa women's tennis team won its second straight match Saturday, downing Kansas City 4-0 to improve to 12-6 on the season, and 9-2 at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center. It was the first of five straight home matches for TU.
 
The Hurricane got off to a quick start, winning the doubles point behind a 6-0 performance from Maria Berlanga/Valeriya Rozenkova at No. 1 doubles and a 6-3 victory at No. 3 doubles from Lily Hutchings/Ana Naranjo Martinez. Berlanga/Rozenkova have a team-best 13 wins this spring, and Tulsa as a team is 36-9.
 
TU made quick work of the Roos in singles play, getting straight set wins from Lily Hutchings at No. 4 singles, Lian Benedejcic at No. 5 singles, and Laia Conde Monfort to clinch the victory at No. 1 singles. The win marked Tulsa's seventh shutout of the season.
 
The Hurricane will look to continue its success next weekend against North Texas on Saturday at 10:00 a.m., and AAC foe UCF, who's ranked No. 18 in the ITA Team Rankings, at 12:30 pm on Sunday.
