Women's Tennis Season Ended After Three-Game O‘ahu Slate

O'AHU, Hawaiʻi – Hawaiʻi Hilo Women's Tennis went 0-3 on its season-ending road trip on Oʻahu falling to Point Loma, 2-5, on Saturday before dropping a 2-5 decision to Colorado Mesa on Sunday and closing with a 2-5 loss to No. 27 HPU on Monday.

Pia Starnecker went 3-0 on Court 2 in the singles play and Kaiya Ideta claimed a pair of victories on Court 6.

The Pacific West Conference announced on Monday that Hawaiʻi Hilo finished No. 9 in its championship-qualifying rankings, falling one spot short of the eight-team field for next week's PacWest Championships (April 15-17 in Surprise, Arizona).

Qualifying teams: Azusa Pacific, Point Loma, HPU Fresno Pacific, Menlo, Dominican, Biola and Stanislaus State. The rankings were voted on by a committee of six administrators from PacWest schools (two from each geographical pod) and listed all nine men's teams and all 14 women's programs. The top two criteria from a list of seven were head-to-head results, followed by records against common Division II (PacWest) opponents.

Hawaiʻi Hilo was voted No. T7 (tied with Stanislaus State) in the conference's preseason coaches poll. The Vulcans finished last season in the consolation bracket at the PacWest Championships.
