Cowgirl Tennis Adds Lopez, Epps – Oklahoma State University Athletics

STILLWATER- Oklahoma State’s women’s tennis team has added Marcela Lopez and Gracie Epps to its roster for the 2024-25 season.
 
Lopez, a Frisco, Texas native, joins the Cowgirls as a transfer from Utah fresh off a selection to the All-Pac 12 Second Team. The sophomore went 9-9 in singles and 10-6 in doubles playing primarily at the No. 1 position for the Utes.
 
As a freshman, Lopez was named the ITA Mountain Region Freshman of the Year and earned Pac-12 honorable mention honors, going 15-5 in singles at the No. 5 position and 14-7 in doubles at the No. 3 position.
 
Coming out of high school, Lopez was a five-star recruit, ranking 34^th nationally and 3^rd in the state of Texas while reaching as high as No. 545 in the ITF junior rankings.
 
Joining the Cowgirls as a transfer from Georgia, Epps is a former blue-chip prospect and ranked as the No. 4 American in the class of 2023. The Norman, Oklahoma, native went 3-2 in singles and 1-2 in doubles during her freshman season with the Bulldogs.
 
Epps ranked as the No. 1 American in her class in 2019 and reached No. 80 in the ITF junior rankings. She is a two-time singles champion of the Grade 3 Cancun tournament and trained at the RH91 Tennis Center under former national champion Matias Marin.
 
The pair of talented transfers join an Oklahoma State roster under head coach Chris Young that returns its top three singles players in Anastasia Komar, Ange Oby Kajuru and Lucia Peyre, as well as its top doubles pairing in Komar and Kajuru. The Cowgirls will enter 2025 looking to defend their ITA Indoor National Championship and Big 12 regular season and tournament titles.
