HONOLULU - The University of Hawai`i women's tennis team dropped a 7-0 decision to Pac 10 and 72nd-ranked Washington, Sunday, at the UH Tennis Complex. The Rainbow Wahine's (0-3) losses have all come against nationally ranked teams.

In doubles play, the duo of sophomore Sophie Kobuch and senior Chloe Bihag played a great match and won against the team of Joyce Ardies and Tara Simpson, 8-4, at the No. 1 position. The duo of freshmen Jennifer Goldman and Natasha Zorec lost a heartbreaking 9-7 decision to Aleksandra Krsljanin and Vanja Radunovic at the No. 3 court.
