Hi all,
Today we played the first of two weekend matches in Western Oregon, notching a 7-2 win over the host Pioneers of Lewis and Clark. Seeing Whitney DeBree of the Pios made us miss her sister Hadley who graduated from Whitman last Spring all the more. It's a good thing next weekend is Alumni/Family weekend as Had will be coming to see us in Walla Walla.
Both teams played well and it was a great match with contributions from everyone. It is also amazing to be in Portland getting to know Leah's family. Thanks for the wonderful support and an amazing pre-match brunch.
We're at it again tomorrow with a match at Linfield at 10am.
Best,
Coach Hein

Coaching Philosophy
To me, being a college student is about opportunity and growth. As a coach, I consider myself lucky to spend 4 years providing opportunity while nurturing growth. We use common goals, hard work, open communication, respect and accountability as means to building meaningful relationships and improving each player’s skill set on and off the court. This means embodying championship virtues to inspire athletic, academic and personal growth that not only happens while you are at Whitman, but becomes a part of who you are throughout life.
