EDMOND, Okla. – After dropping a close matchup on Friday at round one of the ITA Indoor Championships, the Greyhounds gained the opportunity to rebound in a Saturday match versus the No. 9 University of Central Oklahoma. The No. 4 UIndy women's tennis team regained their momentum, winning on a final score of 4-2 to move to the fifth-place game on Sunday.

The doubles matches kicked off in the Greyhounds' favor, where Alina Kislitskaya and Maja Pindelska took the first win on the day against the No. 7-ranked team of Paola Landin and Nikki Boyar 6-2. Adel-Byanu Abidullina and Isabelle Dunlap were able to best the No. 3 team of Nikol Alekseeva and Anna Novikova, claiming the victory on a 6-3 victory. The Greyhounds claimed the doubles point off the backs of Anna Valiaeva and Maria Solnyshkina, securing the second doubles win needed on a final score of 6-4 against Lotte Lesscher Y Post and Mariona Franco Martin.

Boyer took down Pindelska off a 6-4, 6-3 score, and Lesscher Y Post claimed the victory over Solnyshkina 6-4, 6-3 as well.
