VANCOUVER, Wash. — The Portland State women's tennis team recorded a clean sweep of Lewis & Clark Friday at Club Green Meadows, winning all three doubles matches and all six singles match for a 7-0 win over the Pioneers.
 
Friday's win levels the Vikings' record at 2-2 as they open Big Sky Conference play Saturday against Montana State.
 
The Vikings got the brooms out early against the Pioneers (0-1), as they took all three doubles matches at the start of the match. Sophomores Tracy Dong and Sabina-Elena Preda cruised to a 6-0 victory over Lewis & Clark's Kacey Incerpi and Christine Eliazo at line two, while senior Megan Govi and sophomore Kelsey Frey followed with a 6-3 win over Lewis & Clark's Claudia Lew and Summer Garrison at line three.
 
Govi's win with Frey at line three gives the senior 29 doubles wins in her Portland State career, putting her one win from tying Anya Dalkin (2008-11) for the all-time lead in doubles wins at Portland State. Govi is already the all-time leader in singles wins, having set the mark last season.
 
Junior Dané Vorster and freshman Siena Peri had a tougher go against Lewis & Clark's Aurora Garrison and Wiktoria Plawska at line one, running out to a 5-0 lead only to have Garrison and Plawska get back on serve at 5-4. Vorster and Peri recovered in time to break Garrison and Plawska at 5-4, however, giving them the match, 6-4.
 
The Vikings followed with more dominant performances in singles, as five of the team's six players won in straight sets. Peri and Preda only dropped a game each in their matches at lines two and four, respectively, as Peri beat Garrison 6-0, 6-1, while Preda beat Lew 6-1, 6-0.
 
Govi also only dropped one game while winning her first set against Lewis & Clark's Glenna Gee-Taylor, 6-1, at line six, and led 2-0 in the second set of their match when Gee-Taylor was forced to retire.
 
Vorster and Frey, meanwhile, remained in control of their matches throughout, with Vorster beating Lewis & Clark's Summer Garrison 6-3, 6-3 at line one, while Frey beat Incerpi 6-3, 6-2 at line five.
 
Dong had the toughest go of any of the Vikings in singles, as she dropped the first set of her match against Plawska, 6-3, at line three. Dong came back with dominant performances in the second and third set, however, and won the match 3-6, 6-2, 6-1. Dong's win improves her team-leading dual season record to 3-1, and gives the sophomore newcomer her sixth win in her past seven matches.
 
Dong and the Vikings will now hope to carry their momentum into their match against the Bobcats Saturday, which will be a rematch of the teams' Big
Sky Quarterfinal match at last season's conference tournament. The Vikings won that match, 4-2, avenging the Bobcats' 7-0 win over the Vikings in the regular season.
 
The Vikings will host the Bobcats at Club Green Meadows at 5 p.m.
