PORTLAND, Ore. -- Playing on uncovered, on-campus courts for the first time since the mid 1990s, the Lewis & Clark Pioneers celebrated senior Madelyn Landerfelt with a 6-1 win over the Pacific Lutheran Lutes on Saturday.
Landerfelt won at No. 2 singles and paired with Natalie Kowal for a victory in the top doubles match on Senior Day.
