The Sun Devils are coming off of a thrilling 7-0 victory over Northern Arizona last Sunday, highlighted by four two-set sweeps. The shutout was the third of the season and second at home for ASU.
Redshirt senior and No. 115 Sammi Hampton had a day with wins in singles and doubles play. Hampton took care of business on her own in singles play, defeating senior Ellie Millard in two sets (6-4, 6-2). In tandem with Marianna Argyrokastriti, Hampton secured the first doubles point of the day with a 6-1 victory over NAU's Moore/Neyestani.
ASU adds to their undefeated honors with three players having perfect seasons so far. Senior Tereza Kolarova and freshman Giulia Morlet remain undefeated in both singles and doubles, and freshman Marianna Argyrokastriti is a perfect 4-0 in doubles play.
(3-1) Oklahoma comes to Tempe after a narrow 4-3 loss to No. 3 Texas last Saturday. The Sooners started out strong, winning the doubles point with sisters Carmen and Ivana Corley before trading singles points with the Longhorns. OU ultimately fell to Texas after a three-set battle that gave the Longhorns the game point.
Sisters Carmen and Ivana Corley are undefeated on the season, including a stunning 6-0 shutout of Tulsa's No. 22 ranked Martina Okalova and Vera Ploner. Sophomore Carmen Corley also took down No. 86 Okalova in singles play which earned her that week's Big 12 Player of the Week award.
On Sunday, the Sun Devils take on (0-1) Kansas State. The Wildcats opened their 2021 season in Fayetteville, Arkansas for a matchup against Arkansas but came up short, falling 7-0 to the Razorbacks. No. 46 ranked Maria Linares and Karine-Marion Job fought closely with Arkansas' No. 28 ranked duo Rice/Alter before being defeated in a 6-4 set win.
