NCAA Bracket | Stillwater, Okla. Regional Central

BOSTON - After repeating as the Patriot League champion, the Boston University women's tennis team has drawn No. 12 Oklahoma State for a NCAA first-round matchup set for Saturday, May 9 at the Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Okla.

The Terriers (14-7) this past weekend swept through three opponents for a conference title for the first time since 2001 to claim their 24th overall league trophy and 15th NCAA bid. They will face the Big 12's Cowgirls (21-5) at 2 p.m. ET with No. 42 Arkansas (16-14) and No. 25 Arizona State (15-7) set to clash at 11 a.m. ET.

Each winner on May 9 will meet in the second round on Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m. ET with the last team standing advancing to Waco, Texas for the final four rounds on May 15-19.

30th-year head coach Lesley Sheehan will enjoy a change of scenery, as BU has been sent to either the state of California or Florida in 10 of the last 14 postseason trips with two other events hosted by Harvard back in 2004 and 2005. A native of nearby Frisco, Texas, junior Madison Craft will also be excited by the regional placement, as her sister, Makenzie, plays for the Razorbacks. 

Oklahoma St. is making its fourth straight and 17th overall NCAA appearance. The Cowgirls feature three nationally-ranked singles players (#16 Viktoriya Lushkova, #97 Vladica Babic and #124 Katarina Adamovic) with the 10th-ranked best doubles team (Viktoriya Lushkova and Kelsey Laurente).

Texas marked the Terriers' last Big 12 opponent. In 2013, BU dropped a 7-0 road decision against the then-No. 24 Longhorns.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at the OSU ticket office or at the gate. They are $5 for adults and $3 for students.
