Men’s and women’s tennis sweeps WNM

Biola tennis hosted the Western New Mexico Mustangs at the Biola Tennis Center on Tuesday afternoon. Both the men and women’s teams are on impressive winning streaks, and each continued reign as the men won 4-0 and the women 5-0.

SWEEPING STREAKS

The men found two of the three doubles matches to go in their favor. Senior Erik Martinez and sophomore Sebastian Herrera won the No. 2 doubles with a 6-2 victory. Sophomores Andres Meneses and Alex Sedeno rounded out the No. 3 doubles with a 6-3 win. Sophomores Alexei Prokopchuk and Antonio Rosales Varona ended the No. 1 doubles with a tied score of five. When the time came for the singles matches, only three of the six total were completed. Sedeno, Meneses and Martinez all won their individual matches in two sets. Prokopchuk, Herrera and Varona all left the courts with their singles unfinished.

The women followed in the footsteps of the men with a demanding sweep over the Mustangs. Freshmen Brooke Fager and Lilly McNeill won their No. 2 doubles with a commanding score of 6-1. Freshman Colbyshae Emery and sophomore Mary Brascia also defeated their No. 1 opponents with a 6-1 victory. Freshmen Amelia Kitts and Gaby Carvajal ended with a score of 4-1 in their No. 3 doubles. The women finished four of their six individuals as Carvajal and sophomore Ines Diaz left unfinished. Senior Madison Swaney, Emery and Fager all defeated their singles opponents 6-1. Brascia went for a clean sweep, winning both sets 6-0.

Andi Basista, News Editor
Andi Basista is a senior journalism major who loves basketball, underground music and is highly appreciative of a good beach day. [email protected]  Originally from a small farm town in Ohio, I have put aside my corn shucking gloves to embrace a new life in the Angel City to study sports journalism. It is true what they say about culture shock and LA traffic. I am used to being late to work because of getting stuck behind a John Deere tractor, but now it is because of gridlock on the I5. However, I have quickly adjusted to the city life and haven’t looked back since. I moved from the midwest out to Los Angeles over two years ago. Since then my life has changed in big ways. I have learned the importance of pursuing my dreams in order to make them a reality. Sports have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the time I was able to stand up on my own, there was always a ball in my hand. Basketball quickly became my MO. I was involved in multiple athletic organizations, traveling on AAU teams and playing my way through my middle and high school league. My passion for the sport is what inspired me to pursue a career in sports journalism. Being at a place like Biola that has an abundance of opportunities has allowed me to expand from my small-town roots, and that is something I am truly thankful for.
