Lutes Make Easy Work of Loggers, 8-1

PLU 8, UPS 1

TACOMA – Pacific Lutheran improved its overall and Northwest Conference records to 3-1 with an easy 8-1 victory over the host Puget Sound Loggers on Sunday afternoon.

The Lutes got off to a good start with wins in all three doubles matches, though the individual matches were close and ended in 8-6 scores. Erika Feltus and Ashley Coats defeated Katie Schultz and Sam Taylor at No. 1, Liz Currey and Emily Starr beat Alissa Wolfe and Ashley Spencer at No. 2, and Ashley Brooks and Morgan Jones topped Rochelle Hebert and Ashley Dombrow at No. 3.

The singles competition was not nearly as close as the Lutes won in straight sets in four of their five victories. In order, the winners were Feltus, Currey, Coats, Brooks and Starr. Puget Sound's only win came from Penny Horowitz at No. 6 singles.

Pacific Lutheran returns to action next weekend with Northwest Conference road matches against Whitworth on Saturday and Whitman on Sunday.
