The WSU tennis team successfully pulled double duty Friday night by defeating the Eastern Washington Eagles by 7-0, just hours after sweeping the Montana State Bobcats, 7-0.

The victory on the Simmelink Courts at Hollingbery Fieldhouse improved the Cougars’ record to 4-2 on the season. In their previous two matches, the Cougars lost to BYU and Utah, respectively.

The Cougars swept all doubles and singles matches and used consistent play from all players to eventually wear down the Eagles.

Elisabeth Fournier, a sophomore from Ottawa, Canada, extended her dual-match winning streak to six, which leads the team.

Fournier and Ffeshman Lea Jansen defeated the Eagles’ No. 1 doubles pair of Marie Demerath and Kelsey Knight 8-5 in what turned out to be the most exciting match of the night.

After a short break, Fournier had a rematch with Demerath in the No. 2 singles match and was able to use a consistent ground stroke along with a strong volley to overpower Demerath 6-3 and 6-2.

“I just felt like I was able to attack really well and not make as many mistakes,” Fournier said.

After winning in No. 2 doubles with partner Ksenia Googe, freshman Liudmila Vasilieva won in straight sets in her singles matchup with Caitlin Bampton, the Eagles’ No. 1 singles player.

Although Bampton threatened in the second set, Vasilieva used her overpowering serve and length at the net to put the match away and win 6-0, 6-4. No singles player for the Cougars lost more than five games between two sets.

WSU freshman Andjela Kankaras swept the Eagles’ Ryann Warner 6-0, 6-0 in the No. 5 singles matchup. Kankaras and teammate Marina Nicolas also swept their No. 3 doubles match 8-0 against Judy Liening and Warner.

The Cougars showed the same dominance and consistent play that propelled them to a victory over Montana State just hours earlier. Although two matches in one day calls for a long day of tennis, the Cougars were well prepared and conditioned to play at a high level.

“When you have two matches in one day, it’s always a long day,” Fournier said. “I just go back home, take a break, get a bite to eat and focus on the next match.” The entire team had that same focus as the Cougars had little trouble winning all six of the singles matches and all three of the doubles matches against the Eagles.

The Cougars will try to use Friday’s momentum and experience to prepare for their upcoming matches: a doubleheader against Seattle University and University of the Pacific on Friday, Feb. 12th.
