Start of spring break!

The start of the Whitman spring break is upon us! Today is the last day of class before Whitman goes on its annual two-week spring break. While all the students look forward to break, the week prior to spring break is a tough week: lots of papers, presentations and tests. I know many on our team have had some late nights trying to keep up with the increased academic load.

Today is the start of our tennis team iron week. We play seven conferences in just five days. Needless to say this is a very critical week in our quest for a third straight conference title. This afternoon at 3pm we face a very experienced and talented PLU team. We narrowly defeated PLU (5-4) in February and expect another battle today. Since our come-from-behind victory over the Lutes we have shuffled the singles and doubles line-up a bit and I feel are playing a bit more intense tennis. PLU comes into today's match losing to Linfield 7-2 and Willamette 6-3 so I'm sure they will be fired up and looking to redeem their season.

Tomorrow at noon we host UPS. Earlier in the year we defeated UPS 9-0 without dropping a set.

Here is the official write-up for the weekend from Whitman's hard working, talented, and all-around great guy Dave Holden (Sports Information Director).... Men's Tennis Hosting NWC Tacoma Teams.

Hope to see you at the courts. For the fans not in Walla Walla I'll twitter updates for both of the matches.
