remember for next season, keep All-American Anastasiya Komar front and center. Last season, Young emphasized the lack of a true Court 1 superstar. Battle-tested players still slipped into the slots needed, but the team was without a true dominant Court 1 presence. However, those days may be behind the Cowgirls with Komar. Her highest ITA singles ranking is an impressive No. 6 overall, with a career record of 33-7 in singles and a 9-2 record when playing on Court

1. Komar is redshirt sophomore, meaning there could be many days ahead with her in Stillwater.

“She’s somebody that everyone was interested in,” Young said. “I’m sure she heard from just about every school in the country. It gave her some comfortability that we had one of her teammates already coming, but she connected really well.”

With the seasoned returning roster and the new additions grabbed in the transfer portal, the Cowgirls have built a team that creates high expectations, and Young thinks they are capable of reaching higher than ever before.

“I think that everything is on the table as far as goals for next season,” Young said. “We definitely want to compete for championships, and we want to be playing that last weekend here in Stillwater… I haven’t been this excited about a roster in a while.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
