Box Score WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The Whitman College women's tennis team capped an impressive weekend, topping UC Santa Cruz 8-1 on Saturday afternoon in the final match of the Whitman College Fall Invitational.

The win gave them a 3-0 record in the tournament and much to look forward to when the team returns to action this spring.

Andei Fukushige and Andrea Gu assured the Blues of the lead heading to singles with an 8-3 win on the No. 1 court.
