January 09, 2025 | Women's Tennis
NORMAN – The No. 16 Oklahoma women's tennis team is headed to Coral Gables, Fla., for the Miami Spring Invite from Jan. 10-12. This Invite will kick off 2025 action for the team before it hosts a doubleheader against Wichita State and Wyoming next week for the start of dual match competition.
The Miami Spring Invite, hosted by Miami, is an annual spring tournament that brings some of the best teams in the country to the Neil Schiff Tennis Center for a three-day tournament. Competing this year alongside OU is No. 23 Miami, No. 14 North Carolina State, and fellow conference opponent No. 21 Vanderbilt. The tournament will be made up of individual head-to-head matches of both singles and doubles. The tentative schedule of play is as follows:
Friday – Not Before 11:30 a.m. Doubles vs Miami
Friday – Not Before 12:30 p.m. Singles vs Vanderbilt
Saturday – Not Before 10:30 a.m. Doubles vs NC State
Saturday – Not Before 11:30 a.m. Singles vs Miami
Sunday – 8 a.m. Doubles vs Vanderbilt
Sunday – Not Before 9:00 a.m. Singles vs NC State
Oklahoma returns six players from last season's squad including All-Big 12 honorees Julia Garcia Ruiz, Roisin Gilheany, Chloé Noël, Ava Catanzarite and Emma Staker along with Alina Shcherbinina. Cohen and the Sooners welcomed freshmen Emma Ghirardato, Cara Mester, Gloriana Nahum and Salakthip Ounmuang to the squad for the 2024 fall season.
In the fall, Garcia Ruiz advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Individual Championships for the first time in her career after picking up four straight-set victories. The Morelia, Mexico native became the Sooners' first individual semifinalist since Layne Sleeth in 2023.
Head coach Audra Cohen enters her ninth season, holding a 142-59 record. Cohen is joined by associate head coach Mariana Cobra and assistant coach Edson Ortiz.
After coming off a 2024 season that saw them earn their 15th NCAA tournament appearance and fifth under Cohen, the Sooners will hit the court boasting its third consecutive top-20 ITA preseason ranking.
Following the Miami Spring Invite, OU returns home for back-to-back home matches against Wichita State and Wyoming at the Headington Family Tennis Center (Jan. 17).
