Women's Tennis Dominates George Fox In NWC Semifinal

WALLA WALLA, Wash. — Top-seeded Whitman College women's tennis kept its Northwest Conference momentum rolling Saturday afternoon, powering past George Fox 4-1 in the league tournament semifinals on Saturday afternoon at the Whitman Tennis Courts.

Playing the match to decision, the Blues jumped on the Bruins with a doubles sweep to grab a 1-0 lead, then closed the door with three straight-set wins in singles to advance to Sunday's championship match.

Whitman's depth shined early as the No. 2 team of Sascha Wells and Gloria Lau set the tone with a 6-0 win, followed quickly by a 6-1 victory from the No. 3 duo of Bailey Bell and Jules Thompson to lock up the doubles point. At the top spot, Renata Rosell and Nana Vang were leading 4-1 when play was halted after Whitman clinched the doubles result.

Up 1-0, the Blues wasted little time stretching their lead in singles. Lau was first off court with a dominant 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 6 singles, doubling the Whitman advantage to 2-0. George Fox answered at No. 2, where Shanah Denham handed Rosell a 6-2, 6-0 defeat to put the Bruins on the board.

Whitman responded behind its veterans. Vang delivered a pivotal point at the top of the lineup, grinding out a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Riley Bobkiewicz at No. 1 singles to clinch the match and send the Blues to the championship match.
