NWC Tournament Finals!


The NWC conference tournament started yesterday on the Whitman campus. Unlike past years, this year's tournament is limited to the top four teams. The winner of the tournament gets an automatic bid to the NCAA III team tournament in May.

Yesterday we defeated Pacific 5-0 setting up today's 11am final against #2 seed Willamette. Against Pacific we got off to a quick start in doubles sweeping all three matches 8-4, 8-2, 8-2. In singles we were up in all four matches when ET (6-1, 6-1) and Andrew (6-3, 6-0) closed out their matches giving us 5 points.

Weather looks great for todays finals. Should be a great final match. The Bearcats look to be playing solid tennis and will be out for revenge after we defeated 9-0 on their home courts earlier in the year.

We had a GREAT crowd in yesterday's semi finals and hope everyone will be out in force for today's final. As thanks to the fans we will be providing Hepler's Big Cheese Pizza at the start of today's match.

Hope to see everyone at the courts!
