Women’s tennis loses in first playoff match

Biola women’s tennis lost to Concordia University in the PacWest Women’s Tennis Championship Wednesday morning. The Eagles struggled in every match, fighting for lone points each set but in the end losing 5-0.

The No. 1 doubles team of junior Lauren Lee and sophomore Esther Lee went down first, losing 6-1. No. 2 doubles, freshman Ines Diaz and junior Allison Torres, followed close behind with a 6-2 loss. Sophomore Lily Waterhouse and freshman Anna Hartman, the No. 3 doubles team, played an unfinished match. The Eagles then turned their focus to the singles after a difficult first half of the match.

Diaz struggled again in the No. 2 singles spot, winning a lone point in the second set in a 6-0, 6-1 loss. Sophomore Madison Swaney, No. 4, and Lauren Lee, No. 5, replicated the pattern of losses for the Eagles 6-1, 6-0 and 6-2, 6-2. No. 1 player Esther Lee was the last to go in a much closer last set, 6-1, 6-3. Concordia walked away with the 5-0 win.

The Eagles (9-11) continue in the championship matches against Holy Names University Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Club in Arizona.

Ashley is a sophomore broadcast journalism major and Spanish minor who dreams of working for ESPN. She loves the Seattle Seahawks, watching “Friends” and telling stories. Hi there! My name is Ashley Grams and I grew up in a small town north of Seattle –– it is so far north that many people resort to saying we live in Canada. Every weekend I watched sports with my dad, especially the Seattle Seahawks. Thursday, Sunday or Monday night, it didn't matter when they were on, my dad and I were glued to the TV. My love of sports started at a young age and translated into my teen years as I found myself following in the footsteps of Erin Andrews and other broadcasters. Sports journalism became my dream and I moved to Biola University, near Los Angeles, to pursue it. As a sophomore broadcast journalism major and Spanish minor, I am excited to continue writing for the Chimes as a sports staff writer. I enjoy the challenge of communicating effectively with a joyful heart, not to mention watching tons of games on campus! Outside of the Chimes you might find me playing intramural sports, watching “Friends” or eating gluten-free food.
