Women's Tennis Upends Bellevue
Saturday the Green River women's tennis team defeated the five time defending league champions Bellevue College 5-4 in a head to head dual match. Fueled by victories in two, three set battles in doubles, the Gators found themselves in unexpected territory going into singles play. With a 2-1 lead, the Gators top players Jodi Owen (#1 singles), Darci Idler (#2 singles), and Angie Alba (#3 singles) took the momentum and played their best tennis of the season to win their respective matches and to give them the necessary margin of victory.
The women's and men's tennis teams now prepare for the NWAACC Championships being held in Spokane this weekend, with action starting on Friday morning.
