ORLANDO, Fla. – Martina Okalova and Vera Ploner earned a ranked doubles win, but No. 25 UCF (21-3) secured the 4-0 win over Tulsa (15-10) in the American Athletic Conference semifinal round on a windy Saturday at the USTA National Campus.

Tulsa got off to a strong start at the top flight from its No. 17-ranked doubles duo of Okalova and Ploner, who defeated the Knights' No. 19 Valeriya Zeleva/Ksenia Kuznetsova, 6-1, to kick off doubles.

The win marked the TU duo's highest ranked victory of the season, along with the tandem's fourth against nationally-ranked opponents in 2019.
