Women's Tennis Cruises Past Linfield

WALLA WALLA, Wash. – The Whitman College women's tennis team rolled to a 7-0 Northwest Conference blanking of Linfield University on Saturday afternoon at the Bratton Tennis Center, improving to 2-0 in league play.​

Whitman (2-2, 2-0 NWC) set the tone with a doubles sweep, dropping just three total games. At the top spot, Renata Rosell and Nana Vang powered past Sam Baltz and Kaitlynn Canubida 6-2, while Gloria Lau and Sascha Wells delivered a 6-1 win over Sundi King and Gianna Molony at No. 2. Jules Thompson and Julia Longpre completed the doubles shutout with a 6-0 victory over Lyla Khlee and Steffanie Stark at No. 3.​

The Blues kept their foot on the gas in singles, winning all six courts and conceding only one set on the day. Vang capped a strong afternoon with a three-set triumph at No. 1, outlasting Canubida 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 to close the match. Wells was dominant in a 6-2, 6-0 decision over Baltz at No. 2, and Bailey Bell backed that up with a 6-0, 6-4 win against Emily Redwood on court three.​

Whitman's depth shined in the lower half of the lineup. Lau cruised past King 6-1, 6-2 at No. 4 singles, and Natalie Cruz delivered a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Molony at No. 5. Leah Lovato put an exclamation point on the sweep with a 6-0, 6-0 shutout of Khlee at No. 6.​

With the loss, Linfield dropped to 0-5 overall and 0-3 in NWC play. Whitman continues its weekend home stand tomorrow against Pacific at 11:00 a.m.
