Hastings, Neb – The McPherson College Lady Bulldogs, now at full-strength, made the trek north to take on Hastings College on Saturday. The Bulldogs made quick work of the Broncos taking control of the match early and came home with a 9-0 victory.
In doubles MC came out of the gate fast and took a commanding 3-0 lead sweeping number one and number two doubles 8-0; Hastings had to forfeit number three doubles to the Bulldogs. In singles, it was all Bulldogs again as McPherson rolled through the singles matches. Nichole Vorhess (Riverside, Calif.) gave the Lady Bulldogs the deciding point with her convincing win at number two singles 6-0, 6-2. Teammate Emma Sheehan (Fullerton, Calif.) followed suit with her impressive 6-1, 6-1 win. Junior Brooke Vorhess (Riverside, Calif.) had the toughest match of the day staving off illness and a feisty opponent to claim her singles match 6-2, 6-4 and complete the sweep for the Lady Bulldogs.
"This was a very good showing for our team and I'm quite pleased with how we improved our execution overall from last week," said Coach Benito. "The girls handled the adverse condition of only playing on two courts well and took care of business."
Next up for the Lady Bulldogs is a busy weekend with Stephens College on Saturday, February 22 and Barton County on Sunday, February 23.
