Women's Tennis Falls At No. 24 Trinity (TX), Tops Schreiner

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The Whitman College women's tennis team took the court for two matches on Saturday, first falling 7-2 at No. 24 Trinity (TX) before rebounding to beat Schreiner 5-3.

Trinity 7 Whitman 2
The Blues opened the day taking on the 24th-ranked team in the nation but came up short. The match opened with three tight doubles contests, but with the Tigers taking two. Erica Mock and Camilla Tarpey-Schwed fell at the two but Angel Le and Arianna Castellanos took down the Trinity pair of Cate Cushing and Megan Flores in an 8-7 (7-4) tiebreaker at the one to even the score. 

Either team could have taken the lead heading to singles but the Tigers were victorious at third doubles. In another tiebreaker, Illina Jha and Grace Carter lost to Sam Miller and Ellie Hughes 8-7 (8-6).

Whitman quickly fell behind the eight-ball with early losses on the No. 6 and No. 3 singles courts. Thorp lost at love before Mock fell 6-1, 6-2. Le kept the Blues in the match with a dominant 6-4, 6-1 straight set win at the one, but the match-clincher came at the four when Jha lost to Flores 6-4, 7-5.

The only three-setters came at the two and five with the match decided. Castellanos and Tarpey-Schwed both won their opening set but dropped the next two.

The Blues regrouped to earn the split with a solid neutral site win over Schreiner. Whitman set the tone with a clean sweep in doubles. The pair of Tarpey-Schwed and Mock won 8-6 at the one, and Piper Rylander and Mae Thorp teamed up for a win on the No. 2 court by the same score.

Whitman sealed the win early with sweeps at first, second and third singles. Mock topped Hannah Reyna 6-3, 6-2 at the one and Thorp took down Victoria Morales on the No. 2 court. 

The third convincing win came at the three when Grace Carter swept Blair Villarreall 7-5, 6-3.

Rylander earned a solid victory at the four with the match having been decided. She rallied from a set down for a 4-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-8) win over Katelyn Ruiz.
