REDLANDS, CA—In what head coach Alison Swain called
“a great kickoff to the spring season, ” the Williams
women's tennis team (3-1) defeated the University of Redlands
Bulldogs (5-5) by an overall score of 8-1 on Monday. After seizing
control of the afternoon by winning all but one of the doubles
matches, the Ephs swept the singles matches to secure a victory in
the team's first competitive outing of 2010.
“We battled through some nerves and gained confidence
throughout the day,” said Swain. “We had a lot of
positive energy and played well in the pressure points.”
The Ephs will seek to continue their winning ways against
Pomona-Pitzer on Wednesday afternoon in Claremont, CA. But the team
will travel first to Malibu on Tuesday, where it has been invited
to practice at Pepperdine University, which has some of the most
beautiful courts in the country, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
