The new ranking is OU’s highest in program history in either poll. The Sooners just completed their ITA National Indoors run from Feb. 11-14, finishing runner-ups to No. 1 North Carolina in the Championship match on Monday.
Oklahoma has been on a torrid start to the season and thanks to senior Ivana Corley, who was awarded the Big 12 Player of the Week honors on Tuesday. During the ITA National Indoors, she took down the No. 1 and No. 15-ranked doubles teams, alongside her sister, junior Carmen Corley.
Ivana Corley also defeated UNC’s No. 7-ranked Reiley Tran, and Pepperdine’s No. 34-ranked Victoria Flores in singles.
OU will next play No. 10 Southern California at 12 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 20, in Norman.
