The Grand Canyon University women's tennis team rebounded from their semifinal defeat yesterday to defeat Chaminade 5-0 today, claiming third place at the Pacific West Conference Championships in Laie, Hawai’i.
"The girls did a tremendous job today," said head coach Greg Prudhomme. "It's great to have a good team and to have accomplished many things during the season, but it is extra special when the entire team can play their best when it counts the most. The last time we played Chaminade, they won two of the three doubles matches against us, so it was great to see our ladies raise their level of play today. We were winning in three of the remaining four matches when play was stopped."
