WHITTIER, Calif. – The University of Redlands Women's Tennis team acted as spoiler Friday afternoon beating Whittier College 9-0 on their Senior Day.

The Bulldogs built off of a strong Ojai Championships, picking up their second clean sweep on the season as they improve to 10-5, 5-1 SCIAC.

Redlands got to work quickly sweeping doubles.  Kendall Bolock (Yucaipa, CA) and Gabby Rockwood (Park City, UT) won 8-2 at the top spot, Mia Fitzgerald (Kilauea, HI) and Liv Rockwood (Park City, UT) rolled 8-1 at No. 2 and freshmen duo Christine O'Brien (Leawood, KS) and Kiana Brady (Hermosa Beach, CA) cruised to the 8-1 win picking up the clean sweep.

Things got worse for the Poets in singles as Redlands gave up just seven games total across all six spots.  Bolock picked up a couple bagels 6-0, 6-0 at No. 3, while Brady, L. Rockwood, Lexi Lehman (Scottsdale, AZ) and G. Rockwood would win 6-1, 6-0 | 6-0, 6-1 | 6-0, 6-1 | 6-0, 6-1 at No. 2, No. 1, No. 5, and No. 6.

The only contested match would occur at No. 4 from Fitzgerald who gave up three games, but still cruised 6-1, 6-2 to pick up the clean sweep for the Maroon and Grey. 

Redlands has their final home match of 2022 tomorrow, Saturday, April 30 when they host Claremont-Mudd-Scripps beginning at 10:00am.     

Coach's Thoughts

"Outstanding match for the women today.  Coming off a successful trip to the Ojai Championships and following that up with a clean sweep on the road.  I am really proud of how the team played today.  They have some momentum going into tomorrow with a home match against Claremont-M-S."

Coach's Shoutout

"A team effort today.  They got out of the gates quickly and never let Whittier get into the match."
