WAIPAHU, O'ahu, Hawai'i – The Chaminade University women's tennis team wrapped up a busy weekend by dropping a 9-0 decision to Holy Names Sunday at Patsy T. Mink Central O'ahu Regional Park.
Playing for the third time in four days, the Silverswords (0-9) had perhaps their most competitive match of the season with several players managing to take games from the Hawks (3-8).
The most hotly contested match was in No. 1 doubles with freshmen teammates
Cai Yan Fang and
Tomomi Kohno falling to the Hawks' duo of Eliza McKean and Rutendo Gwaze, 8-5. Also in doubles, the tandems of

Kim Spring managed to take singles games. It was the first time this season that all three Chaminade doubles teams had won games from opponents in a single match this season.
In singles action that followed, Haurillon battled Taylor Barajas, taking three games in the first set before falling in straight sets in No. 4 singles. And in the No. 6 spot,
Jackie McGreal managed to take a game off Gwaze, her first of the season.
The 'Swords will next be in action on Friday when they face Southern New Hampshire at the BYU-Hawai'i Tennis Courts at 2 p.m. Also that day, the Silverswords will finish their match against BYUH which suspended last Friday due to rain.
