Freshman Katie Spencer continues her strong debut, going undefeated in singles last weekend with victories over Washington’s Alexia Jacobs and Virginia Crocker from Oregon, putting her in the lead for spring singles wins on the team with eight. Spencer also saw a ranked doubles win along with partner Conley Raidt, defeating No. 46 Matsuda/Syrtveit of Washington.
