TAHLEQUAH – Northeastern State picked up its first win of the season in dominant fashion, sweeping Oklahoma Wesleyan 7-0 on Wednesday afternoon.

The RiverHawks (1-4) took control early, winning all three doubles matches to claim the opening point. The No. 1 doubles team of Tegan Heaton and Adel Ismagulova defeated Rocio Espinal and Jewel Henderson 6-4, while Annika Kleinhans and Sofia Kotliarova cruised to a 6-1 victory at No. 2. Lucia Bontempo and Camila de Michele capped off the sweep with a commanding 6-0 win at No. 3 doubles.

NSU continued its dominance in singles play, winning all six matches. Heaton battled to a 6-4, 4-6, 10-5 win at No. 1 singles, while Ismagulova rolled to a 6-4, 6-1 victory at No. 2. Bontempo, Kotliarova, Kleinhans, and de Michele each secured wins to complete the shutout.

The RiverHawks didn't drop a set in five of the six singles matches, showcasing their depth and control. Oklahoma Wesleyan (3-3) struggled to find momentum, with no player winning more than six games in a set outside of the top singles match.

Northeastern State looks to build on the victory as it continues non-conference play with Henderson State on Friday.
