Waipio, HI—The top-ranked Brigham Young University Hawaii women’s tennis team kept up their winning streak with a 9-0 sweep of Chaminade today for their 67th straight win and 300th in their last 302 matches. The win also marked the 999th career dual match win for BYU–Hawaii Head Coach David Porter. Porter has now won 548 times as coach of the men’s team and 451 times with the women’s team.

The Seasiders swept the three doubles matches today without dropping more than two games in any of the matches and then won the six singles matches in straight sets. The top-ranked doubles tandem of Elwen Li and Maggie Deng breezed to an 8-2 win at number one doubles and then Li blanked her opponent 6-0, 6-0 at the top doubles spot. Deng claimed a 6-0, 6-1 win at number three singles. Jenny Chin teamed with Ayako Ikeda for an 8-2 win at number two doubles before powering her way to a 6-3, 6-2 win at number two singles while Ikeda was cruising to a 6-1, 6-0 win at the fourth singles slot. At number three doubles, Shenley Searing and Janelle Selfaison zipped to an 8-1 win and then Searing won at number five singles 6-1, 6-3 and Selfaison took the sixth singles slot 6-2, 6-0.
