News release from Texas A&M Athletics:

FAYETTEVILLE – The No. 11 Texas A&M women’s tennis team secured its 10th conference win of the season, downing Arkansas Sunday afternoon at the Billingsley Tennis Center, 4-1.

The Razorbacks (10-11, 3-8 SEC) took the early lead in the match, claiming the doubles point. However, they didn’t hold the lead for long as Lucciana Perez and Ellie Pittman scored back-to-back points, to give Texas A&M (18-6, 10-1 SEC) the lead, 2-1. Perez struck first, downing Indianna Spink on court 3 (6-1, 6-1). Pittman immediately followed on court 6, as she bested Kacie Harvey (6-0, 6-1).

Jeanette Mireles left the Aggies one point from victory, as the junior claimed her third-straight singles victory over Arkansas’ Lenka Stara on court 4 (6-2, 6-3).

Ensuring A&M’s third-consecutive SEC regular season with double-digit wins was No. 1 Mary Stoiana on court 1. She dominated No. 26 Carolina Gomez in straight sets (6-2, 6-2), securing her 15th-ranked win of the season.

Both Mia Kupres and Daria Smetannikov were also leading their matches before the overall result was clinched.
