Both men and women’s tennis teams pulled out wins in their matches earlier this week. The women are currently 5-12 overall and 1-5 in conference play while the men are currently 7-9 overall and 3-3 in conference play.
The women’s team traveled to Oakland on Saturday and nabbed their fourth win of the season 8-1. The Eagles took home another win on Tuesday against Hope International University 7-1. This is an improvement from earlier this season when the women fell to HIU 6-3.
The men were also able to pull out a win against Hope International after losing three-straight previous matches.
Biola kept up with Hope International throughout the entire match and the deciding match was in the No. 1 singles with freshman Lucas Lee against senior John-Douglas Owens. Lee was able to win his first and third sets to secure the win 5-4 for the Eagles.
On Wednesday, the men defeated Pacific Lutheran University 7-2 to surpass the record for most wins in a season since 2007.
The women will host Pacific University starting at 10 a.m., and the men will play at Fresno Pacific University on March 29 starting at 2 p.m.
