Women’s Tennis Beats Storm and Biola

Submitted by: Ron Smith - February 26th, 2010

In an effort to play a match scheduled for this afternoon with Biola before the forecasted heavy rains reached Santa Barbara, #15 Westmont Women’s Tennis (2-4, 2-2 GSAC) moved up its match from a 2:00 p.m. start time to 11:30 a.m. The earlier start time appears to have agreed with the Warriors who defeated the Eagles (1-5, 0-5 GSAC) by an 8-1 score on the Abbott Tennis Courts in a Golden State Athletic Conference match.

The Warriors swept the double matches beginning on the number one court where Cassie Strange and Ilissa Mathews defeated Joelle Tanaka and Samantha Weng 8-1. At number three, Sarah Chhum and Hanna Day claimed an 8-3 victory over Marvelous Beckman and Danielle Calbeck. The number two match was a bit closer, but Tara Yekrang and Sarah Louie prevailed 8-6 over Christine Garner and Kristen Williams.

Women’s Tennis Seeks Return to Nationals

Submitted by: Ron Smith - February 24th, 2010

By Kathy LeSage

As the 2010 season begins, Westmont Women’s Tennis is looking to make their twenty-fourth trip to the NAIA National Tournament in the last 29 years. In 2009, the Warriors missed a trip to the NAIA Nationals but ended the season ranked at number 21 nationally.

Senior Cassie Strange will try her hand at the #1 singles position this year. In the 2009 season, Strange had the best record on the team at 10-10 playing at the number two singles spot. Strange is a very experienced player who knows how to compete with the top players. Her goal this year is to maximize her assets as an all-court player – looking to attack the net whenever possible.

Ilissa Mathews is off to a great start playing in the number two singles position. She has posted straight set wins over four of her five opponents thus far. This includes a win over twenty-ninth ranked Nathalie NcNall. Mathews missed the fall preseason while she was traveled to Europe with Westmont’s off-campus program. She is starting to regain her form and become a huge threat to the powerhouse teams in the Golden State Athletic Conference. Mathews is petite in stature but can wallop the ball and surprise unsuspecting opponents.

Athenas Best Warriors

At number one doubles Mathews and Cassie Strange teamed up to earn an 8-4 victory over Katie Lorish and Jaclyn Smrecek. The Athenas, however, won at both number two and three doubles. On the number two court, Caroline Day and Alexandra Hsu defeated Tara Yekrang and Sarah Louie by a score of 8-1. Ali Feldhausen and Riley Thomlison claimed an 8-2 victory over Sarah Chhum and Hanna Day at number three doubles.
