PORTLAND, Ore. -- Only Whitworth's top entries were able to win any more than two games as the Lewis & Clark Pioneers won their Northwest Conference dual 9-0 over the Pirates on Saturday afternoon.
Summer Garrison (4-0), the No. 7-ranked player nationally, won the Pios top singles match 6-0, 6-3 over Bella Hoyos. Against Lewis & Clark's top doubles pair, 14th-ranked Claudia Lew and Christine Eliazo (2-2), Hoyos and her partner, Jenny Adams, were defeated 8-4.
Every other match was decided without the Pios giving up more than a pair of games at the L&C Tennis Dome.
No. 5 entry, freshman Vika O'Brien (1-0), swept her singles match with Paige Rohrbach 6-0, 6-0. It was O'Brien's first spring singles match in the Pios' top six.
Lewis & Clark won three other singles matches in which they gave up one game.
Playing in the No. 3 position, Kacey Incerpi (1-3) nearly won without yielding a game. The junior won her first singles match of the season with a 6-1, 6-0 defeat of Emma Jo Wiley.
The Pioneers' Christine Eliazo (4-0) stayed perfect with a 6-0, 6-1 defeat of Annabelle Burns in the No. 4 match, while Glenna Gee-Taylor (1-0) took her No. 6 pairing 6-0, 6-1 against Ashley Winslow.
The only Lewis & Clark entry to give up a game in each set was Wiktoria Plawska. Still, she improved to 4-0 this season with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Adams in the No. 2 position.
Along with sister Aurora Garrison, Summer Garrison (4-0) was part of the No. 2 doubles pair to beat Burns and Jo Wiley 8-1. Plawska and Incerpi (3-1) were 8-2 winners over Rohrbach and Winslow in the No. 3 doubles pairing.
Lewis & Clark's sweep of the dual came one day after ending Whitman's 39-match NWC regular season winning streak. The Pios defeated the Missionaries 7-2 on Friday.
NWC play resumes on Feb. 27-28 with road matches at Pacific Lutheran and Puget Sound on back-to-back days.
