CLAREMONT, Calif. – The Whittier College women's tennis team saw their two match winning streak snapped Friday afternoon as they fell to No. 12 Pomona-Pitzer by the score of 9-0.

Freshman Maegan Zamilpa who came into the match undefeated in both singles and doubles found a tough test in Sammy Chao.  Zamilpa who upset Chao in the Fall ITA's in three sets again pushed the Sagehen No. 1 to the brink falling in a first set tiebreak 7-6 (5) before coming back from being 4-0 down in the second only to fall 6-3.

After getting swept in doubles at No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 all by the score of 8-2, the Poets battled in singles despite having two players battling a cold.  Adrienne Hamada who dropped her first set 6-1 to Mae Coyiuto fought back in the second but was unable to force a third set falling 6-4. 

Liliana Serylo found herself matched up at No. 2 singles against Jamie Solomon the former No. 1 player for Pomona-Pitzer but came out of the starting blocks slowly allowing Solomon to take the first set 6-0 and then the second 6-3.
