BC women’s tennis won their regional playoff opening in a 5-0 sweep vs. San Diego City College on Tuesday, April 8.
The team recently concluded a perfect and historic 16-0 regular season claiming their name in the Western State Conference as champions which led them to enter playoffs with extreme confidence.
BC set the tone off strong, and displayed their confidence early in doubles matches as BC’s No. 1 team, Breanna Hiebert and Hannah Kratt won 8-0. The No. 2 team Taylor Crider/Kailani Lua and No. 3 team Naomi Pavletich/Kayleah Sanchez both took down their opponents 8-3.
BC needed just two wins in singles matches to clinch the win to advance to semifinals. Lua defeated her singles opponent 6-2 and Pavletich won her singles match 6-0, stopping play of the other 4 singles matches.
Crider who earned Women’s Player of The Week for BC said, “I think that we came out very strong in doubles. We pulled off all three wins. Naomi and Kailani pulled off the wins for us to clinch. We have a tough matchup next week, but I am very happy we have home court advantage. We worked very hard for this all year, and we are looking forward for next Tuesday at home for semis.”
BC is set to play Riverside at home on Tuesday, April 15.
