2017 SEASON REVIEW
ELITE. AGAIN.
Cowgirls see trio of seniors off with a second-straight historic
run to the national quarterfinals.
It was another historic season for the Oklahoma State women's tennis team in 2017 as it capped off the careers of
its three standout seniors with a second-straight appearance in the national quarterfinals and its second consecutive
regular season Big 12 Championship.
Head coach Chris Young and the Cowgirls were able to once again build on the success of recent years, running
off a 25-6 record for their third 20-win season in as many years and second-straight season of 25 wins or more. The
team was also able to advance through regionals to the NCAA Championships for a third consecutive year to build
on its appearance in the national championship match a season prior.
OSU maintained its stranglehold on the Big 12 Conference, losing only once in league play to tie fellow top-10 foe
Texas Tech clinch the conference regular season title. The Pokes followed their strong regular season up with an-
other impressive run in the Big 12 Tournament, racking up wins over Kansas and No. 15 Baylor to advance to their
fourth conference championship match in the last five years.

In the quarterfinals, the Cowgirls ran into the top-seeded and eventual national champion Florida Gators, giving up a 4-1
match that ended OSU's season.
"Our girls gave it all they had this entire season, and competed like champions," head coach Chris Young said. "Today,
even not playing well, I thought we still competed hard and dug deep. I'm proud of those girls, and proud of our seniors
who have put us on a different level as a program over the last three years. I'm proud of everything that they have ac-
complished."
OSU wrapped up another outstanding season with its sixth top-10 final ranking in school history and an All-American for
the fourth-straight year in senior Viktoriya Lushkova.

NCAA Championships
The Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center, the second major project
in Oklahoma State University’s Athletic Village, was unveiled in January of
2014 with the indoor portion of the complex hosting its first varsity matches.
The outdoor courts also opened during the spring semester of 2014.
The 50,000 square foot tennis center is located just north of Boone Pickens
Stadium. The indoor facility houses six tennis courts, along with coaches’
offices, locker rooms, and a sports medicine hub complete with a
hydrotherapy center. The indoor facilities are able to seat at least 350
spectators.
The webcams inside the facility are another exciting feature, which allow
OSU to live-stream matches onto the team’s website.
The center includes 12 lighted outdoor tennis courts in two sets of six courts.
The courts are set up to allow fan viewing of each match being played in both
the indoor and outdoor venues.

Stillwater is a rapidly growing city of 48,406 and is near the geographic center of the coun-

state of Oklahoma. Often called Oklahoma’s premier education community, Stillwater is the
home of some of the region’s finest education and training institutions, including Oklahoma

and one of the nation’s top-rated public school systems.
With such a strong commitment to education, it’s easy to see why Stillwater’s educational
attainment is among the highest in the nation with 48 percent of its residents holding
bachelor’s degrees or higher. The city is the micropolitan anchor for the state’s technology

BULLET
The Oklahoma State University Cowboys have many symbols
of their western heritage, but none is more appropriate than
their mascot, Bullet. The Spirit Rider program debuted in 1984
with the first few Spirit Riders providing their own horse to
serve as mascot for the OSU Cowboys.
Bullet speeds onto the field The tradition of the Spirit Rider can be attributed to the late
after each score. Eddy Finley, who wanted to promote school spirit the “cowboy
way,” on horseback. Since that time, additional support has
come for the Spirit Rider and Bullet, much of it due to Finley’s
hard work. A horse trailer, custom-tooled saddle and uniform
dress for the Spirit Rider and ground crew have been donated
to OSU. In honor of the Spirit Rider and its tradition, Jim Ham-
ilton sculpted the Spirit Rider bronze statue that sits next to the
National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater.
Ask any Oklahoma State University graduate what OSU’s greatest tradition is, and you’ll hear one word - Homecoming.
The OSU Alumni Association has presented Homecoming at OSU since 1920 growing it from a small-town carnival to a
nine-day, award-winning celebration. It is widely known as “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration” with its signa-
ture event, Walkaround, which regularly draws more than 80,000 spectators to view elaborate Greek house decorations,
parade floats and residence halls bathed in orange.
OSU’s Homecoming is entirely run by students - more than 250 on committees within the Alumni Association and thou-
sands more in Greek, residential and campus life. Cowboys love our Homecoming tradition and are actively contributing to
an endowment to secure its future existence and growth on our campus.
Homecoming is a driving force in the Stillwater community. In 2013, the Harvest Carnival event contributed 18,500 pounds
of canned food donations to the local Harvest II food drive. Homecoming also highlights other OSU sports at Homecoming
& Hoops where fans can preview the upcoming season’s squads for Cowboy and Cowgirl basketball in addition to enjoying
a pep rally for Saturday’s football game.
From the Edmon Low Library’s orange fountain to Hester Street painted for coaches and players to view during “The
Walk,” OSU and its alumni are proud to claim “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration.” Homecoming 2017: ‘Herald
Your Fame’ is October 6-14 and will conclude with the Baylor vs. OSU football game on Saturday, October 14.
