We're headed up to Spokane where Whitworth hosts the four team NWC championship for the automatic qualifying bid to the NCAA tournament. We play in the second semifinal of the day on Saturday vs. Linfield.
Here is the schedule:
Sat 10am : #1 Whitworth vs. #4 Willamette
Sat 2pm: #3Whitman vs. #2 Linfield
I won't be blogging as the conference will have live stats thanks to our hosts up at Whitworth, so check out the webpage at http://www.whitworth.edu/Athletics/Teams/TennisWomen/Releases/2011/NWCTourn.htm
The team is really looking forward to the opportunity to compete with the only two teams who defeated us this year as well as another who we had an exciting 5-4 match with. If you are in Spokane and planning to come, please let me know as we always appreciate your support!
ALSO: I can't forget to mention last week's Whittie of the week, Kate! Wolvie was ferocious in locking down two three set singles wins last weekend, but more than that, she set the tone with her work on the court and in the classroom last week and the team rewarded her for it.
MORE REWARDS: Elise was AGAIN named NWC student athlete of the week! Congrats to Twitch who just couldn't let fellow Whitman senior Etienne Moshevich (an amazing player and huge leader on our men's team) get all the glory as he scored back to back honors a few weeks ago. Both student athletes are representing Whitman so well as they lead their teams to the post season.
