NORMAN, Okla. -- The No. 6 University of Oklahoma men's tennis team defeated No. 41 Louisville, 6-1, Friday, March 8, in Louisville, Ky.

"We played well against a very tough Louisville team," OU head coach John Roddick said. "Our doubles was really good tonight, and we fought hard in singles and pulled out some tough matches. I was very proud of the effort tonight."

In the last match of their one month road stretch, the Sooners (10-3) started quickly in doubles against the Cardinals (9-8) and did not slow down in singles.
