Women's Tennis Too Much For Whitworth In NWC Opener

SPOKANE, Wash. - Jin Yu won in doubles then provided the match-clincher in singles to pace the Whitman College women's tennis team to an 8-1 win at Whitworth in Northwest Conference action on Saturday.

Yu and doubles partner Ilina Jha got the Blues off to their winning start with an 8-2 victory at second doubles against the Pirate pair of Natalie Budge and Meredith Bedford. 

Whitworth tied the match with a victory on the No. 2 court, but the Blues assured themselves of the lead heading to singles when, at first doubles, claimed an 8-7 (2) tiebreaker victory over Clara Todd and Gracie Smyley.

Whitman made quick work of the Bucs in singles play. Jha blanked Budge 6-0, 6-0 at the three and Blunt took down Smyley on the No. 1 court to put the Blues one point away from victory.

Yu's match-clincher came on the No. 2 court where she topped Paige Oliver in straight sets 6-0, 6-3.

Next up for the Blues is a trip to Eastern Washington University on Sunday, March 3. Match time is set for 10:00 a.m.
