WHITTIER, Calif. - The Whittier College women's

Saturday morning as No. 7 Pomona-Pitzer rolled to a 9-0 win over
the purple and gold at the Richard Ettinger Tennis Courts.
The Poets (2-3, 0-1) got down early on the top ranked team in
the West Region and never recovered. The Saghens won all three
doubles matches in convincing fashion and carried the momentum over
to the singles side of the morning.
The No. 2 doubles team of Victoria Curtis and
Maryrose Vigorita and the No. 3 team of
Elizabeth Reitzell and Rachel
Aelion-Moss managed only a single game in their matches.
Both teams lost 8-1 while the No. 1 team went down 8-0.
Curtis battle hard in singles competition at the sixth spot but
ultimately lost 6-4, 6-2. The four games she won in the first set
were the most by any Poet all match.
Lauren Gelgur won three games in the second set
of her match at No. 2 singles but lost 6-0, 6-3. Aelion-Moss,
Vigorita and Kady Oliker all took two games in one
of the sets during their matches.
The Poets return to action next Friday afternoon as they travel
to Claremont, Calif., to take on the 11th ranked team in the
region, Claremont-M-S.
