LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Biola Women's Tennis hosted one of the best teams in all of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics on Friday afternoon. The Eagles had the opportunity to play a No. 7 Brenau Tigers team that beat No. 10 Westmont 8-1 just yesterday.
 
The visiting team defeated Biola 9-0 on a day when Head Coach Dee Henry noted she was proud of the way her players fought hard against the tough competition.
 
Henry trotted Madeline Heer, Kathryn Ashford, Brooke Sanford, Kelsey Post, Katie Boesl and Megan Ontiveros out to the courts of the Biola Tennis Center in singles play. All six student-athletes lost in straight sets as Brenau made quick work of singles.
 
Ashford and Sanford were each able to work one of their sets to 6-3, but that was as close as any Eagle could get against the experienced and talented Tigers players.
 
Doubles was a similar story, but the combination of Ashford and Sanford's skills at the No. 2 position helped make for quite the battle against Pala Rives Palau and Fathya Berjane of Brenau.
 
Ashford and Sanford played to within four games of the duo from the school out in Gainesville, Georgia, but ultimately would fall 8-4.
 
The loss drops Henry's squad to 3-7 on the season, while Brenau improves its record to 6-2. The Eagles are back at it Saturday afternoon as they host Arizona Christian at 1:00 p.m.
