Lady Tiger tennis opens season at Central Oklahoma

Originally scheduled to open the season on Feb. 7, the Cowley College women’s tennis team was finally able to get its season underway by playing at the University of Central Oklahoma on Thursday.

The Lady Tigers were not real sharp in their first competitive match of the spring as they lost by a score of 7-2.

“The first match is always tough plus we had two extra weeks of non-competition time so we struggled to get back into playing mentally,” Cowley head coach Josh Cobble said. “I hope this match gets us kick started.”

Cowley got a 8-5 win from its No. 1 doubles team of Adrijana Pavlovic and Jamie Blackim, and also Jessica Montemayor at No. 3 singles.

After losing her first set 1-6 to Central Oklahoma’s Anto Rossini, Montemayor rallied to win the next two sets 6-2, 10-5.

“She got off to a terrible first set then started to get in a groove the second set,” Cobble said. “This was a big win for her.”

Pavlovic won her first set against Central Oklahoma’s Julia Shviadok 7-6 before dropping the next two sets by scores of 4-6, 8-10.

Cowley will now prepare to play at Oklahoma Christian University on Friday at 3 p.m.

“They are usually a pretty good team,” Cobble said. “I hope we will be a little match tougher and have more confidence playing in a match format. We need to clean up some of our silly errors.”
