The women’s tennis team holds the record for the longest conference winning streak of any Linfield sport – 108 consecutive conference victories between 2002 and 2009. The program boasts 11 overall conference championships, including a string of seven straight titles starting in 2002.
“Last spring, we won the conference tournament, went to the NCAAs and had a team average GPA of 3.85,” says Lisa Macy-Baker, head coach. “Truly a testament to the work that these young women put in on and off the court.”
