The men’s tennis team faced Wichita State this afternoon at the Headington Family Tennis Center in Norman, and the Sooners won convincingly, 6-1.

The win showed OU’s resiliency as it followed a close loss to Oklahoma State, 4-3 on Saturday. With the win, the Sooners improved to 12-8 on the year.

The Sooners jumped out to an early lead against the Shockers, winning all three doubles matches and were able to take the doubles point. The Sooners continued their solid play in the singles matches as well. They won five of the six singles matches, and every Sooner who won was able to take care of his opponent in two sets.

The Sooners will now look ahead to their final match of the regular season; it is also the Sooners’ last conference match in the Big 12 before heading into the Big 12 championships on April 24. The Sooners will take on Texas Tech at 1 p.m. on April 19 in Lubbock, Texas.
