Barry wins 2022 NCAA DII Women's Tennis Championship over Central Oklahoma
Barry rallies to defeat Central Oklahoma and win its seventh championship
For the seventh time in the last 11 NCAA DII women's tennis championships, Barry has won the national championship, as the Buccaneers defeated Central Oklahoma 4-1 on Saturday morning.
Central Oklahoma started the championship match by winning the doubles point after taking two of the three doubles matches — just the second time all season Barry lost the doubles point — but Barry stormed back. Barry's Kim Moosbacher defeated Blythe Buntrock 6-1, 6-1 to even the match 1-1.
