Vanguard Paddles Pandas
Selecting to play the singles matches first, the Lions took an early lead with dominating performances from Kristen Eichenmuller and Natalie Kelley, who were the first to defeat their Canadian counterparts. The pair lost only four games combined in their straight set victories at number six and five singles, respectively.
Olivia Amstad cleared her court next with a strong 6-1, 6-0 win at number four and Tiffany Teerawat duplicated that score with a two-set win at number three. Damia Donkervoort also defeated her Panda opponent with a powerful win (6-1, 6-1) in the number two match, and Hana Jurcovicova sealed the singles sweep when she eliminated Shaira Somani, 6-4, 6-2, at #1 singles.
The Lions put the finishing touch on the shutout with 8-3, 8-1, and 8-0 wins from top to bottom in the doubles matches. "We took care of business today," says VU Head Coach Mattias Johansson. "We’re glad we were able to get the match in, but now we are just looking forward to next week’s matches." Vanguard improves to 12-2 overall with the win and will return to conference action on Monday when the Lions host Hope International in a 2:00 p.m. matchup at the Costa Mesa Tennis Center.
