Usual doubles partner sophomore Kana Moriyama (Redmond, Wash. / Redmond) faced the toughest test of the day in the top singles spot against Whitworth No. 1 Bella Hoyos. Moriyama won the first set 6-0 and worked her way through a back-and-forth second set to win the final match of the day, 7-5.
Prior to winning their singles matches, Reisler and Moriyama teamed up to defeat Hoyos and Paige Rohrbach, 8-6 at #1 doubles. Caltech’s #3 doubles team, consisting of juniors Vinci Chen (Austin, Texas / Westwood) and Erin Wang (Auburn, Calif. / Del Oro), was the first duo off the court, winning their match 8-3.
