WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The Whitman College women's tennis team started the season off with the bang, visiting Lewis-Clark State where the Blues came away with a 7-2 win on Jan. 21. For all intents and purposes though, the season gets underway in earnest this weekend when the team plays its home opener on Friday, 2:00 p.m. against Division I Seattle University before traveling to Portland for an exhibition match against the University of British Columbia followed by a Sunday contest at Lewis & Clark.

Head coach John Hein and sophomore Kattie Pak share their thoughts on the upcoming weekend and the team's preparation and excitement.
