Men's Tennis Finishes Spring Break Road Trip with Sweep of George Fox

The Whittier College men's tennis team rebounded nicely from a pounding they took from Portland St. a day ago to dish one out themselves.  The 9-0 victory against George Fox on April 3 marks the first shut-out the Poets have had in many years.

"It was a nice way to cap off the trip," said Coach Bojalad, "We are peaking at the right time and definitely have confidence going into the remaining conference schedule and tournament."

These matches include Caltech in Pasadena on April 5 followed by back to back matches against Occidental and Cal Lutheran the following weekend.
