Lady Raiders take down Cyclones
March 01, 2026 | Women's Tennis
Ames, IOWA – The No. 23 Texas Tech Lady Raiders earned another strong win on Sunday, taking down Iowa State, 4-2, in an intense Big 12 matchup, led by Hailey Murphy who secured her fifth-ranked win this year.
Â
Texas Tech (11-3, 2-0 Big 12) opened the day with a win in doubles play. The No. 75-ranked duo of Yekaterina Dmitrichenko and Murphy battled in a tight 7-5 win at court one over Mari Paz Alberto Vilar and Stanislava Shulzhenko to clinch the doubles point. At court two, Elena Daskalova and Mariia Hlahola won by a 7-5 score against the Cyclone duo Julia Camblor and Gabriella Kellner.
Â
In singles, Hlahola extended Tech's lead over the Cyclones on court three, 6-1, 6-0, over Camblor. Freshman Havana Kadi followed with a straight-set victory on court six, defeating Valentina Vargas, 6-3, 6-2, to make it 3-0. Iowa State was able to cut into Tech's lead with two singles wins.
Â
However, the match clincher came from Murphy at the top court when she picked up her fifth ranked singles win this year. After dropping the first set 0-6 against No. 64-ranked Vilar, Murphy fought back to claim the next two sets by 6-3, 6-1 scores to secure the win for the Lady Raiders.
Â
Up next, the Lady Raiders are back at home to continue conference play against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls on Friday, March 6, at 4 p.m. at the McLeod Tennis Center.
