Tam Thompson and Megan Blake rounded off the success with a 6-4, 6-1 triumph in their doubles match.

Tuesday marked the team's home opener and first league match against Hoquiam, where they continued their winning streak with a convincing 5-0 win. Andersen, Volk, and Ferreira maintained their stellar form, each securing straight-set victories. The doubles combinations of Lillian Bickford/Alayna Meyer and Jessie Zumwalt/Jennavieve Smith mirrored their previous performance with dominant straight-set wins.
