Box Score TACOMA, Wash. - Still short-handed, the Whitman College women's tennis team retook the court and delivered an impressive 7-0 win at Pacific Lutheran on Saturday afternoon.

Only seven matches were played with Whitman winning nearly all in convincing fashion. The Blues set the tone with wins in both doubles matches. The team of Grace Carter and Irene Tsai opened with an 8-2 win at the two before Angel Le and Anastasiya Redkina assured the Blues of the lead through doubles with also an 8-2 win. They topped the Lute team of Bayley Gochanour and Taylor Stokes on the No. 1 court.

The match clincher came on the No. 1 singles court. Le won her second match of the day, a 6-0, 6-3 sweep of Hannah Jeffries. The tightest contest of the afternoon came on the No. 4 court to close the match. Carter rallied to win a first-set tiebreaker before completing the sweep with a 7-6 (2), 6-2 win over Jillian Chong.

Head coach John Hein was very happy with the result. "It was fun to keep growing our doubles and Grace (Carter) was huge in coming back down 5-2 in the first set for the win.

Whitman and PLU square off again next Saturday, this time at the Whitman Tennis Courts. Start time is set for 11:00 a.m.
