I must admit I forgot about this. I went on a trip on the 5th thru the 9th and this fell off of my radar to follow.

The OU Women's Tennis Team picked up another 'first' for the Sooner Women's Tennis Team as Guzman/Shcherbinina claimed Oklahoma's first ITA All-American doubles title Sunday afternoon at the ITA All-American Championships in Cary, N.C.

Here the final Sooner staff writers article about the ITA for the Sooner Women:

Urrutia also did well in the Consolation Singles as she advanced to the Consolidation Semi-Finals.
