CHENEY, Wash. – The Eastern Washington University women's tennis team hosted their first home match against Lewis-Clark State College this morning (Feb. 16) and won 7-0. The Eagles are now 3-2 overall and have yet to start conference play.
Janaya Smith and Rylee Braeden opened up doubles competition on the first court and came out on top 6-1, followed nicely by Zoey Nelson and Faye Worrall who competed in the No. 2 spot (6-0) and Stephanie Broussard and Rachel Swindell in the No. 3 spot (6-0).
The Eagles did not allow any matches to go to a third set in singles play. In the No.1 spot was Smith with a 6-2, 6-0 win and then Braeden with similar success (6-1, 6-1). Nelson defeated her opponent in the No. 3 spot (6-2, 6-0) as well as Worrall (6-2, 6-3) and Broussard (6-1, 6-1). Swindell closed out competition in the No. 6 spot with another great 6-1, 6-1 win.
"Great team win today," said head coach Dustin Hinson. "We wanted to come out and play our brand of aggressive tennis and we really did a nice job of that. We had excellent grit and footwork all the way through the match. We are ready to bring the same kind of play to Gonzaga on Sunday."
The Eagles look forward to continuing competition at Gonzaga on Sunday (Feb. 18) before they travel to Pullman, Wash. the following weekend to face Minnesota (Feb. 23) and Washington State (Feb. 24).
