PORTLAND, Ore. -- After falling behind through doubles, the Lewis & Clark Pioneers won all but one singles match in a 6-3 win over the Linfield Wildcats on Sunday at the L&C Tennis Dome.
Kristian Peev and Alberto Dos Santos took the top doubles match, the only win for the Pios. The pair joined Logan Hausler, Miles Stone and Atticus Pallock with singles wins.
The match was the first for the Pioneers inside the new L&C Tennis Dome, which replaced the previous one that collapsed in winter 2021 during an ice storm.
