EDGEWOOD, WASH. – Seattle U women's tennis started a new winning streak on Saturday, taking their second victory in two days by running rampant over Whitman College at the Jupiter Tennis Center, 6-1.
In singles play, sophomore Martina Asciuto defeated Whitman's Jennifer Wong with a straight-set sweep, 6-0, 6-0. Freshman Jade Lancaster also had little trouble with opponent Kattie Pak, winning 6-1, 6-0, while sophomore Jillian Rasmussen's (6-0, 6-4) hot start was too much for Camilla Tarpey-Schwed of Whitman to overcome. Seattle U's three juniors all took their opponents to the brink; Michelle Bader (6-0, 3-6, 10-4) and Kyra Jung (1-6, 6-3, 10-8) both triumphed over Irene Tsai and Andrea Gu, respectively, while Hannah Gianan put up a tremendous 6-7 (5-7), 3-6 effort against Whitman's Andei Fukushige.
Gianan and Lancaster kept their fantastic season going with a 6-1 doubles win against the duo of Gu and Fukushige in the number one slot. Rasmussen and Alvarez Sanabria made another solid appearance, defeating Pak and Wong 6-3, and Jung and Bader finished things off with a 6-4 victory over Tsai and partner Angel Le.
The Redhawks will head to Spokane, Wash., next weekend for their next slate of play, beginning with a 5:00 p.m. PT match against Fresno State on a neutral court.
