The Washburn Lady Blues tennis team rolled to a 9-0 win over Missouri Western in their MIAA opener on Wednesday night in St. Joseph. Mo.
The Lady Blues only dropped at total of four games in doubles play while the No. 2 team of Myself and Alyssa Castillo tossed a shutout, winning 8-0. The Washburn's aggressive attack on the Griffons continued in singles play where the Lady Blue Netters won all six flights in straight sets, dropping only 11 games in singles play while Castillo picked up a pair of 6-0 wins at No. 5 singles.
The Lady Blues will return to action in MIAA play against Southwest Baptist University this Friday at 2pm at Washburn Outdor Tennis Complex.
Hey Sophie - Great posts about the tennis team. Especially being a sports writer for the Washburn Review, it's great to hear the tennis lingo directly from someone involved. Maybe one day you'll explain how the team scores work and how they add up for one team to beat another?
ReplyDeleteAgree with Michael - I'd understand your wonderful blogs even better if you had maybe a little guide for beginners. I know love is a term, but I don't know what it means in tennis. Congratulations on being a stud athlete Sophie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback guys! I'll be sure to throw in some guidelines to tennis scoring and go through some of the terms in the next couple of blog posts!
