2016 Spring Schedule

Here it is, our Spring Schedule as a downloadable pdf file.

We'll have more info about our special events on the road and at home, but Coach Maddy and I are delighted to have a steady diet of great opponents throughout the year.  There is something special going on with the team this year, those of you who saw us in the fall know we have depth and talent, but there is a larger team thing going on where everyone is in sync and pushing each other and loving the journey - I hope that this schedule helps you share it with us.

It kicks off with a couple of D1/NAIA matches with Eastern WA, Idaho and Lewis Clark State College (ID).  These tests will prepare us for a huge home weekend.

The Winter Classic this year brings #18 Redlands and an improved #33 Trinity (TX) along with #35 Linfield.  The traveling teams will also play #29 Lewis and Clark; so we've got 5 teams all on the rise in D3 tennis coming to Walla Walla!  We can't wait and hope you join us on Presidents Day weekend for Fri, Sat Sun matches.

We then hit the road for three conference weekends before Spring break, there will be some big matches in Portland, Salem and Spokane before we head to California for Spring Break.

On break, we've got two of the top 10 teams in the West with UT Tyler (#36 nationally) and CMS (#4 nationally) followed by a rematch with one of our favorite matches from last year #21 Vassar.

After break, we invite you to come to our Family/Alumni/Senior superweekend April 2-3rd.  We'll have matches with Lewis and Clark and George Fox as well as events on and off the court for our visitors.

 For those of you in the Seattle/Tacoma area, we finish the regular season with an action packed trip to play UPS, Division 1 Seattle University and then PLU April 16-17th.

I'll have more info about alumni/family gatherings around the road matches and ways to RSVP for home matches.  We hope to see you or have you follow indoor livestreaming/tweeting/updates from our adventures on the courts this spring.
