SPOKANE, Wash. – The Whitworth women's tennis team extended its Northwest Conference match winning streak to eight in a row with a 9-0 victory over visiting George Fox on Saturday at the Scotford Tennis Center.

The Pirates improved to 10-3 overall and 8-0 in the NWC.  The Bruins dropped to 6-10, 2-7.

Whitworth rolled through the three doubles matches in just over 30 minutes.  Hannah Wallin and Anabelle Burns shut out Ilsa Teppo and Shelby Arnold 8-0 at #3 doubles.  Bella Hoyos and Morgan McDivitt doubled up Ali Diehl and Megan Dahlberg 8-4 at #2 doubles.  And Taylor Peña and Saryn Mooney defeated Alyssa Emoto and Krista Rey 8-2 at #1 doubles.
