SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The Portland women's tennis team fell 4-0 to Pacific Thursday in the opening round of the WCC Tournament at Aztec Tennis Center. The Pilots conclude the 2024 season with a 10-12 record, while the Tigers (14-6) move on to face San Diego in the semifinals.

Portland battled during doubles play with Alaia Rubio Perez and Rimona Rouf cruising to a 6-1 win at the No. 3 position. After Pacific won at No. 1 doubles, the Tigers secured the point with a tiebreak win at the No. 2 position to go ahead 1-0.

The Pilots won opening sets at No. 2 and No. 4 singles via Sally Pethybridge and Rubio Perez, respectively, but Pacific cruised at No. 1, No. 5 and No. 6 to put the match away. Pethybridge was leading 5-2 in the second set when the match was abandoned.
