Last Time
 
The Trinity University women's tennis team opened its 2025 spring season with a 7-0 win over Lewis & Clark College (OR) on Saturday at the Butch Newman Tennis Center. Doubles began with a landslide victory as Olivia Kim (Phoenix, Ariz. / Desert Mountain) and Ellie Hughes (Austin, Texas / Vandegrift) won 6-0. The Tiger team of Rosabella Andrade (Southlake, Texas / Ponderosa) and Trinity Levy (Camarillo, Calif. / Weil Tennis Academy) clinched the doubles point with another dominant victory (6-2). Despite the clinch, the final Tiger duo of Brooke Belitz (Scottsdale, Ariz. / Notre Dame Prep) and Lucy Nabedrick (Plymouth, Minn. / Wayzata) swept the doubles matches as they won 6-1.
 
Hughes was the first singles match to finish, disposing of her opponent with two 6-0 sets to put the Tigers in front 2-0. Kim was also done in no time with a 6-1, 6-1 win at line #1. Nabedrick clinched the team victory with another 6-1, 6-1 win. Levy, Andrade and Allison Vo (Sugar Land, Texas / Elkins) also dominated their games to close out the Tiger win and complete the shutout.
