No. 17 Bulldog Women's Tennis Falls to No. 16 Bowdoin College

The No. 17 University of Redlands women's tennis team came up short in today's non-conference match against visiting No. 16 Bowdoin College (ME) by a score of 2-7. Despite taking an early 2-1 lead in doubles, the Bulldogs struggled against the Polar Bears in singles, resulting in their second loss in a row.

After losing quickly at No. 3 doubles, the Maroon and Gray rallied back to win the remaining two matches. The top team of seniors Paige Sumida (Hilo, HI) and Whitney Waters (Austin, TX) came up with an 8-5 victory, while the No. 2 duo of juniors Rachael Miller (Newport Beach, CA) and Sara Yoshinaga (Honolulu, HI) posted an exciting 8-6 win.

However, the momentum shifted in favor of Bowdoin as Redlands dropped every singles match to lead to the 2-7 loss. Yoshinaga extended her match to three sets at No. 4 but came up short in the deciding stanza.

The Bulldogs (5-4) look to rebound on Monday at 3 p.m. with a non-conference match against No. 3 Williams College (MA) on Verdieck Courts.
