NEWBERG, Ore. - The Pacific Lutheran University women's tennis team capped off the 2022 season on Saturday, ending on the wrong end of a 9-0 scoreline against Northwest Conference rival George Fox University.
 
"We didn't finish the season with the scores we wanted but the play on the court is indicative of how much the team has grown this season," said Head Coach Cheri Campbell.
 
In doubles, Meggie Burnett and Jillian Chong fell to the Bruin's (12-7, 4-3 NWC) No. 2 tandem of Cassey Hitch and Kalli Wiker by an 8-2 score while Lilian Nguyen and Libertad Sarmiento fell by an identical score in the No. 3 match.
 
In singles, Taylor Stokes was unseated, 6-0, 6-1, at No. 1 in her final collegiate tennis match. Nguyen battled at No. 5 singles, pushing the match to a third set before ultimately coming up short, 6-2, 6-7, 1-0 (10-6). 
 
"Taylor finished her career with solid points playing No. 1 after five years of college tennis, Lilian was the last off the court and battled against a tough, evenly-matched opponent. Lilian has improved her consistency and shot selection to allow her to compete at a different level than where she was back in September when she faced the same opponent at ITAs."
 
The Lutes close out the year with a 3-13 dual match record, including a 1-7 mark in NWC play.
