No. 38 Sooners Trump Shocks, 6-1

NORMAN, Okla. -  Jonathan Obrist picked up Wichita State's only win as the WSU men's tennis team dropped a 6-1 decision to No. 38 Oklahoma Wednesday afternoon at the Headington Family Tennis Center in Norman, Okla.

Obrist's win came in the No. 2 singles match where he defeated Andrei Daescu in a three-set thriller. The Shocker junior won the first set in a 7-6 (2) tiebreaker, then dropped the second set, 6-3, before rebounding for an 11-9 win in the decisive third-set super-tiebreaker.

That was the only bright spot for the Shockers in Wednesday's dual match, as his teammates lost their matches in straight-set decisions. Playing in the No. 1 position for the first time this season, Adrian Chermaci dropped a 6-4, 6-2 decision to Sergey Avdeyev. David Cavalcanti dropped the No. 3 singles match, 6-2, 6-0, to Ionut Beleleu, while David Pultr handed Matt Teivans a straight set, 6-2, 6-1, loss in the No. 4 match. Scott McCormick and Michal Zawadzki rounded out the Shocker scorecard. McCormick dropped a 6-2, 6-0 decision to OU's Blake Boswell in the No. 5 match, while Zawadzki was dealt a 7-5, 6-1 decision in the No. 6 match.

The Sooners swept the doubles competition. Avdeyev and Beleleu downed Zawadzki and Chermaci, 8-4, in the No. 1 doubles match. OU's Daescu and Pultr downed WSU's McCormick and Teivans in an 8-7 (5) tiebreaker, while OU's Miller and Boswell completed the sweep with an 8-4 win over WSU's Obrist and Cavalcanti.

The Shockers complete their season with a Senior Day match-up against defending Missouri Valley Conference Champion Drake Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Sheldon Coleman Tennis Complex. First serve is slated for 11 a.m.
