Regals Rout Women’s Tennis In 7-0 Decision

Pioneers conclude three-game stretch against second SCIAC team in three days.

PORTLAND, Ore. – A day after returning home from Southern California, Lewis & Clark College women's tennis was back on the court, but California Lutheran University was ready for the challenge as they swept doubles and earned a 7-0 win Monday night at the L&C Tennis Dome.
 
THE BASICS
 
Cal Lutheran 7, Lewis & Clark 0
(Lewis & Clark 1-4)
(Cal Lutheran 4-2)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Due to time constraints, the two teams arranged to play the match to decision, instead of finishing all six singles matches.
 
Lewis & Clark's freshmen duo Emma Loucks and Charlotte Makoni provided a challenge for Cal Lutheran in doubles, while junior Hayley Kreps played a competitive singles match to close out the night.
 
The Regals opened the match with 8-1 wins at first and second doubles. Freshman Susanna Anand and senior Seraphina Vossen were unable to stop Carmen Bufkin and Mina Ahmadi on court one. While Kreps and fellow junior Kacie Lau faced off with Kylee Limpias and Maddy Ford on court two, producing the same result as their teammates.
 
Loucks and Makoni provided the most competitive match of doubles play on court three. The freshmen narrowly lost to Gerda Jucys and Kayla Kling 8-6 in the third doubles match.
 
Ford pulled the Regals within a point of victory at number two singles with a straight-set win over Vossen. The final score was 6-2, 6-2.
 
Anand played a competitive first set against Bufkin, who finished the fall season ranked #19 in the ITA Division III West Region Women's Tennis rankings. Bufkin won the match at first singles 6-3, 6-0 to secure the 5-0 decision win for Cal Lutheran.
 
Loucks finished soon after in the third singles flight. She fell to Ahmadi 6-2, 6-1.
 
Despite the dual already being decided, Kreps and Lusia Garcia completed their match at number four singles. Kreps played the most competitive singles match for the Pioneers before Garcia won 6-3, 6-3.    
 
BY THE NUMBERS 
  • Cal Lutheran now holds a 3-2 series advantage over Lewis & Clark. The Pioneers won the first two meetings between the teams.
  • Monday's match was the third match in three days for the Pioneers and the second against a team from the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). The Pios lost to Whittier College of the SCIAC 6-3 on Saturday and Defeated NAIA Hoper International University 6-1 on Sunday.
  • Cal Lutheran played their fifth Northwest Conference opponent in five days, going 4-1 in that stretch. The Regals' lone loss was a 5-4 decision to Pacific on Saturday.
