Box Score PORTLAND, Ore. - With the league season winding down, the Whitman College men's tennis team won its second straight on weekend, beating Lewis & Clark 8-1 in Northwest Conference action on Sunday.

The Blues jumped ahead after winning two of the three doubles matches with victories coming on the No. 2 and No. 3 courts. Harshvardham Chopra and Lucas Huang took down L&C's Alberto Dos Santos and Matthew Chio, 8-4, at the two, with Noah Baker and Aaron Yuan winning their No. 3 doubles match by the same score. 

Whitman nearly claimed a doubles sweep on the No. 1 court, but John Carter and Aidan Schutter fell to Kristian Peev and Logan Hausler, 8-5.

The Blues went on to sweep singles play with all but one match won in straight sets. Huang opened with a dominant 6-0, 6-0 win over Dos Santos at the three before Yuan topped Miles Stone at the four 6-4, 6-0 to put the Blues within one win of the match.

The match clincher came moments later when Alejandro Raffo swept Atticus Pallock on the No. 6 court, 6-1, 6-1.
