Box Score WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The Whitman College women's tennis team continued to dominate the Northwest Conference, making quick work of Willamette in a 9-0 win over the Bearcats on Sunday at the Bratton Indoor Tennis Center.

The Blues (8-4, 5-0 NWC) cruised past the Bearcats in doubles play. Teleya Blunt and Sascha Wells got Whitman's first point, topping the Willamette pair of Ruby Blake and Mckenna Turner on the No. 3 court 8-1. Whitman assured itself of the lead heading to singles with a win at the two when Grace Carter and Jules Thompson took care of their Bearcat opponent 8-3.

The doubles sweep was secured at the one with Camilla Tarpey-Schwed and Illina Jha's 8-1 win over Anika Groener and Richelle Suzuki.

As dominant as Whitman was in doubles, it was even more so in singles play. The victory was earned quickly with wins on the No. 4 then No. 3 courts. Both not dropping a single game, Blunt won 6-0, 6-0 at the four and Ilina Jha did the same on the No. 3 court.

The Blues cruised to victories in the remaining matches, all in similar dominant fashion.
