Oklahoma State took doubles.

I see where we won 4 of the 6 singles first sets. Nice start, but we have to finish them off.

OSU forces a third set at #1 and #2.

Dominique wins at #2 (6-1, 2-6, 10-8).

Rice 1 OSU 1

Zimmermann wins at #4 (6-3, 6-2).
Ho loses at #6 (2-6, 3-6).

Rice 2 OSU 2

#1 and #5 in third deciding sets.

Looks like Ip hasn't won yet. 2nd set tied 6-6.

Yup, they had her as winning then changed it.

Natalie unable to finish it.

OSU 3 Rice 2

I know they probably wanted to even out the double teams, but I wish Natalie and Dominique were still paired up. They had a lot of success last year.

Kim wins the 3rd set tiebreaker 10-7!

Rice 3 OSU 3

OSU forces a tiebreaker on #3

Owls win. Ip wins tiebreaker. Nice going, ladies!

Gutsy!

Advance to face the winner of #19 Auburn- #75 Tulane on Saturday

Auburn downs Tulane 4-0 and advances to face Rice in the winner's bracket on Saturday. Match time TBA

It's been a very difficult week for members of the tennis team so today's win is even more impressive. They are really great representatives of Rice.

To honor James Ragan and his Triumph Over Kid Cancer Foundation, the team wore orange wrist bands.
