Carol Yang had one word to describe her top-10 victory this month.
“Incredible,” she said with a big smile.
The No. 1 singles player for the UNLV women’s tennis team defeated Oklahoma State’s Viktoriya Lushkova for a comeback three-set tiebreaker on March 12. Oklahoma State was ranked seventh in the nation at the time, and Lushkova is No. 10 on the individual rankings.
“I was shocked,” Yang, a senior, said about losing the first set 6-0. “I was pretty upset and my coach (Tim Nichols) was like, ‘You’ll be fine. Just keep playing.’ I calmed down and made my adjustments.
