LA MIRADA, Calif.—Sweeping singles and doubles play, the Hawai`i Hilo women's tennis team evened its record at 7-7 with a 9-0 win over Biola on Monday afternoon at the Biola Tennis Center.

With the loss, Biola dropped to 1-12 on the season, but the match was closer than the 9-0 score would indicate.

UHH's Daniela Sanz had to go three sets to defeat Madison Swaney at No. 2 singles, 6-4, 1-6, 6-0, and the tandem of Sanz and Devanshi Bhimjiyani went to a tiebreak before prevailing on court one in doubles against Esther and Lauren Lee, 8-7 (7-4).

Additionally, Sara Marin went deep into a second set tiebreaker before topping Tinisee Kandakai, 6-2, 7-6 (9-7). Marin and Irena Le were also pushed nearly to limit on court two in doubles against Swaney and Kandakai, 8-6.

Bhimjiyani, Marina Colvee, Carmelle Joyner and Le won in straight sets on the other singles courts, while Cheyenne Schula and Gabriela Aguilar Lawlor won easily at No. 3 doubles, 8-1.

The Vulcans will now play their final two matches of this long road trip and of the regular season, taking on Azusa Pacific on Tuesday and Point Loma on Friday.
