Hard-Fought Win for RedhawksHard-Fought Win for Redhawks

BOZEMAN, Mont. – (Feb 4) Strong doubles play and even better singles play led the Seattle University women’s tennis team to a 4-3 win over Montana State on Sunday afternoon at the Bobcat-Anderson Tennis Center.

 

The Redhawks started the match with a big win at flight #3 in doubles, where Madison Maloney and Kali McCollister took a commanding 6-2 win. The Bobcats then evened it up with a win in the first flight, but Hannah Gianan and Kyra Jung secured the doubles point for SU with a 6-4 win in the second flight.

 

After securing the doubles point, the Redhawks needed three wins in singles, and that’s what they did. Kelli Woodman set the tone with a win in the fourth flight 6-1, 6-2, and Kyra Jung and McCollister sealed the 4-3 win with wins in their respective matches. McCollister dominated her court 6-0, 6-0, and Jung won her match 6-3, 6-2.

 

“I am really proud of the team,” head coach Adam Reeb said. “Today was a good win. These ladies have been working hard and were very deserving of the victory this morning. Our doubles play was again solid today, and we did a great job of backing that up with some great singles performances.”

 

The Redhakws won’t get back on the court for 12 days. They will visit Gonzaga for a regional match starting at 10 a.m. on Feb 16.

 

“We’ve got about two weeks until our next match so it will be good to get a little healthier and work on a few things heading into our next match,” Reeb added.
