PORTLAND, Ore. - Pacific Lutheran mowed down the Lewis & Clark College Pioneers twice on Friday, recording a pair of 8-1 wins in Northwest  Conference men's tennis action.

The Lutes are now 3-1 in the conference and overall this season after taking the tennis "doubleheader" from the host Pioneers.

The Lutes rotated their lineups between the two matches, sweeping all six doubles contests and losing only in singles play.

Justin Peterson teamed with Joel Trudel for 8-0 and 8-3 wins at No. 1 doubles, and Peterson also picked up a pair of straight-set wins while playing No. 1 singles in one match and No. 2 in another.

Scott Sheldon, Taylor Dickey and Brian Higginbotham all had a pair of singles wins during the day. Sheldon and Dickey both played with different partners and came away with two doubles victories.

PLU returns to conference action on Saturday when it plays two matches against the Pacific Boxers.
