4/10 - GEORGE FOX 9, PACIFIC 0: Bruins Complete Season Sweep of Short-Handed Boxers
NEWBERG, Ore. - Winning all five singles matches that were played in straight sets, plus two doubles and two matches that were defaulted due to a lack of opponents, the George Fox University Bruins defeated the short-handed Pacific University Boxers 9-0 in Northwest Conference men's tennis Tuesday afternoon here at the GFU campus courts.
