Women's Tennis Tops Pioneers, Claims NWC Title Outright

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Whitman College women's tennis team capped a monumental weekend and secured the Northwest Conference regular season title outright, beating Lewis & Clark 6-1 on Sunday in the NWC season finale.

With Saturday's win at George Fox, the Blues had already clinched a share of the title and hosting rights for this weekend's NWC Tournament, but today gave the title outright to the Blues for the third straight season. The tournament will take place Friday and Saturday in Walla Walla with the Blues opening up against Whitworth in one semifinal matchup. Pacific and George Fox will square off in the other.

The win also saw Teleya Blunt earn her 100th career victory, one day after teammate Arianna Castellanos did the same. Blunt was the third member of the team to reach the century club this season with Ilina Jha accomplishing that feat earlier.

Whitman confidently earned the doubles point after wins by Jha and Sascha Wells at the two, and Blunt and Bailey Bell at the three.

The Blues captured all of their singles wins via sweeps and Wells provided the match-clincher with a 6-0, 6-3 win on the No. 4 court.
