SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Portland women's tennis had three players earn West Coast Conference recognition, the league office announced on Tuesday.

Rubio Perez went 17-14 overall in singles playing at the top spot in the lineup during dual matches. She finished 10-8 in No. 1 dual singles and picked up four wins against WCC opponents.

Radulova finished 10-7 in dual singles at the No. 2 position in her lone season on The Bluff after transferring in from Virginia Tech.
