KOHALA COAST, Hawai`i--The Vulcan women's tennis team went 2-for-2 on Saturday to kick off the 2021 season with a their second win of the day over Chaminade, 7-0.

The Vulcans mixed up the line-up a bit from their 7-0 morning victory at the Fairmont Orchid Resort Tennis Courts, but had the same result. The Vulcans had different players in the top two singles spots, with Sandra Dafincescu and Carmelle Joyner picking up victories over tough opponents Catrina Liner and Kayleen Lau. For Joyner, it was a bit of revenge, having lost once to Lau last season.

But that Chaminade duo picked up the lone victory of the day for the Silverswords in doubles, topping Hannah Highsmith and Carolina Alfonsin, 6-2. The Vulcans still won the team doubles point with straight victories on courts two and three. 

The Vulcans will rest one day before facing No. 5 nationally ranked Hawai`i Pacific on Sunday at the Fairmont Orchid. Start times will again be 10 a.m. and 2 p.m..
