WARRIORS COMPLETE TRIPLE DOUBLE AT WHITMAN

The Warriors swept the singles and doubles titles in the 3rd Annual PNW Small College Championships hosted by Whitman College. Dermot O'Grady, the two time defending champion and first seed had to settle for a second place finish this year to All-American teammate Vinicius Vieira. Vinnie played a remarkable two set match, hitting quality shots from the baseline to keep Dermot at bay. "It felt like I was playing against a pro. He was blasting winners left and right"

The doubles final featured the top pairs from LC and Whitman. Vinnie and Dermot captured the crown with an 8 game pro set win over Tim Mullin and hard serving Trevor Gamble, a transfer from UC Santa Cruz (a perennial Division III national title contender). This victory marks the third straight doubles title for Dermot, who has now won the event with three different partners. Dermot and Vinnie are seeded one in the ITA Regionals which begin on Saturday in the LCSC Tennis Center and the Lewiston High School courts.

This could be a preview to what may be an exciting final encounter in the ITA Regionals scheduled for September 29-October 1.
Dermot is the defending champion and he leads the series 2-1 against Vinnie in tournament play. Both players are seeded 1 and 2 (in the regional singles), but the the draw has attracted many strong players who are out to spoil their potential match up.
