FOREST GROVE, Ore. – The Lewis-Clark State Women's Tennis team dropped matches at the top of singles and doubles, but the Warrior depth took care of business in a 6-3 victory over NCAA Division III opponent Pacific on Friday.
LC State has now won two of its last three matches to improve its record to 9-7.
The Warriors took two of three of the doubles contests as
Heidi Moyo and
Bonolo Molefe teamed up for a No. 2 doubles victory over Anna Emerson and Anneke Hanson 8-3.
Maria Eduarda Santos da Silva and
Anne Mathema were victorious in No. 3 doubles with an 8-2 win over Keilyn Futter and Angela Nguyen.
"We could not stop the Binder sisters at the top of the lineup, but our depth made it happen to get the victory," LC coach
Kai Fong said.
Cassidy and Sydnie Binder of Pacific were able to take victories in the top two singles matches, but the Warriors swept the other four while only dropping a combined three games.
April Buckingham and Silva swept through No. 5 and No. 6 singles, respectively, without losing a game. Moyo earned a 6-2, 6-0 win over Emerson in No. 3 singles and Mathema improved to 3-0 in No. 4 singles action when she defeated Nguyen 6-0, 6-1.
