Eagles Lose Opening Match

The women’s tennis team fell 4-2 to Hawai’i Hilo in their opening match of the 2023 PacWest Tennis Championships.

Surprise, Ariz.---The Biola women's tennis team fell 4-2 to Hawai'i Hilo at the Surprise Tennis & Racquet Club.

Biola entered the first round of the 2023 PacWest Tennis Championships as the seventh-seed and the Vulcans came in as the 10th. 

The Eagles (6-12) got off to a good start by winning the doubles point. Lilly McNeill and Gaby Carvajal recorded Biola's first win on the second court, 6-2. Alexandria Mann and Amelia Kitts came through next for BU with a 6-2 win of their own on the third court. 

Colbeyshae Emery recorded Biola's only singles win where she defeated Hawai'i Hilo's Akari Ichikawa 7-5, 6-1 on the first court. 

Three of the Eagles' five remaining matches went on to three sets. Brooke Fager came back from a 2-6 first set loss to win her second set 6-3, but would fall 1-6 in the third.

Amelia Kitts also had a battle going on the sixth court. Kitt won her first set 7-5, but would lose the next two 1-6, 2-6.

McNeill's match on the second court was cut short due to the Vulcans' 4-2 clinch. McNeill won her first set in a tiebreak (77-64), lost her second 4-6 and was leading 3-2 in her third which was when the match was called.

Biola will now enter the consolation bracket with their next match on Thursday, Apr. 20 at 5 p.m. against Dominican. The Eagles best possible finish now is fifth place in the PacWest Championships.
