SEATTLE – No. 24 Washington women's tennis picked up two more wins on against Portland and Eastern Washington to cap off an undefeated weekend at the Nordstrom Tennis Center.

Portland
The Dawgs started hot against the Pilots and never let up. All three UW doubles duos won their sets by the same 6-2 margin. With the doubles point up on the board, Washington was fired up for singles.

At No. 3 singles, Miki Kobayashi wrapped up her match first, cruising to a 6-1, 6-2 win. Not far behind was No. 11 Stacey Fung on court one. Fung saw the same score in both sets, dominating in a 6-2, 6-2 victory.

Alexis Prokopuik at No. 4 singles clinched the match for Washington. After only allowing one game in her 6-1 win in the first set, she shutout her Pilots opponent in the second, securing her match win and the win for UW.

Courts two and six were suspended once the match was clinched. Kenadi Hance finished her match on court five because she picked up her 6-1, 6-1 win not even one minute after her teammate Prokopuik solidified the win.
