(SAN DIEGO) PLNU Women's Tennis, the PacWest Team of the Week, lived up to the honor with a 7-0 win over Hawaii Hilo on Monday and then a 5-0 result against Bowdoin on Tuesday.
 
The two wins are the team's sixth and seventh in a row since the Sea Lions last lost on Feb. 17 at No. 15 Azusa Pacific.
 
Against Hilo on Monday, Point Loma won both doubles matches that finished to take the doubles point.
 
Rachel Whittington and Thelma Sepulveda cruised at No. 3, 6-0, before Arianna Audelo and Amanda Letzring sealed the deal with their 6-3 win at No. 2. Angelique Friedrich and Joelle Lanz were leading 5-4 when their match was left unfinished with the doubles point already decided.
 
The Sea Lions then won all six singles matches in straight sets, with Whittington starting things off with a 6-2, 6-1 victory at No. 6.
 
Friedrich (No. 3 – 6-2, 6-1), Audelo (No. 1 – 6-3, 6-3), Letzring (No. 4 – 6-1, 6-4), Sepulveda (No. 5 – 7-5, 6-2) and Lanz (No. 2 – 6-3, 6-2) then all won their singles matches in that order to complete PLNU's third 7-0 win of the season.

On Tuesday against Bowdoin, the Sea Lions could've completed a second-consecutive 7-0 sweep in as many days if it weren't for rain preventing the two remaining singles matches from finishing.
 
After the visitors won the first doubles match to finish, PLNU picked up wins at No. 3 and 2, in that order, to take an early 1-0 lead.
 
Whittington and Faith Pearson trailed 3-4 at No. 3 but earned a break to flip the script and spark them to a 6-4 win.
 
Then Friedrich's overhand volley clinched the overall doubles point and a 6-4 win for her and partner Lanz at No. 2 doubles.
 
In singles, Audelo (No. 1 – 6-2, 6-3), Lanz (No. 2 – 6-0, 6-1), Letzring (No. 4 – 6-0, 7-5) and Sepulveda (6-4, 6-4) all won in singles before the rain prevented Friedrich and Pearson from completing their matches.
 
Friedrich led 6-4, 5-4 at the time play was suspended, while Pearson was knotted in a tight super tiebreak, 7-7, after winning the first set 6-3 and losing the second 4-6.
 
Point Loma (9-3 overall) will next host Concordia on Saturday at 11 a.m. in a makeup match from Feb. 22.
