CLAREMONT, Calif. – The Bowdoin women's tennis team has suffered a trio of setbacks during the opening play of its California trip.
The Polar Bears are 1-4 on the season after falling 5-0 to Point Loma Nazarene in a rain shortened opening match, and 7-2 to both Sewanee and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.
Point Loma Nazarene Highlights
- The Polar Bears earned one win during doubles play as Jamilah Karah and Cara Hung captured a 6-2 win at the one stop. However, Division II rules award just one point for doubles play, so Point Loma Nazarene returned with the overall team doubles win.
Sewanee Highlights
- Tenth-ranked Sewanee swept doubles play to take a 3-0 lead.
- Bowdoin's two points came from the top two singles spots.
- Karah battled to a three-set win at number one singles (6-7, 6-2, 1-0).
- Elizabeth Yu also won in three sets (5-7, 6-1, 1-0).
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Highlights
- Bowdoin led second-ranked CMS 2-1 coming out of doubles play.
- Karah and Hung cruised to an 8-1 win at the top spot.
- Hannah Buckhout and Kennedi Carter edged out an 8-7 win at two doubles.
- The Polar Bears were unable to win a singles match. Yu and Buckhout both forced third sets, but were unable to close out the matches at two and five respectively.
Up Next
- The Polar Bears are off until a March 18 match at Redlands.
