Women's Tennis Advances to Championship Match, Sweeps The Beach

Box Score
SAN DIEGO, Calif.--The top-seeded University of Hawai'i women's tennis team (13-7) swept Long Beach State (11-10), 4-0 to advance to Sunday's Big West Championship match vs. the winner of the second semifinal match between second-seeded Cal Poly and sixth-seeded CSUN. Hawai'i's No. 1 Ana Vilcek clinched the semifinal match hosted by the Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego, Calif.

The Beach started the day notching a doubles victory on the No. 1 court. But after that, it was all Rainbow Wahine, as UH's No. 2 duo of Nikola Homolkova and Vilcek  defeated LBSU's Rhona Cook and Peppi Ramstedt by a break, 6-4. With the doubles tied at 1-1, Hawai'i's No. 3 pair of Madison Kim and Satsuki Takamura earned the point with a 6-4 win over Mathilde Tranberg and Hana Becirrovic.

In singles action, Hawai'i quickly recorded their third-straight sweep and second of the Championship with all three wins coming in straight sets. Takamura led things off with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Cook on the No. 3 court. Kim followed with identical scores, downing LBSU's Justine Dondonay, 6-1, 6-1. UH's No. 1, Vilcek then sealed the win with a 6-0, 6-4 vicotry over Sarah Medik.

Hawai'i returns to the BW Championship match for the first time since 2019. Hawai'i advanced to the championship match four-straight seasons from 2016-19, winning the title in 2018.
