No. 2 WashU women’s tennis split results this past weekend, falling 4-3 to No. 4 ranked University of Chicago before bouncing back with a commanding sweep of No. 27 Grinnell College. 

The Eagles put on a stunning performance — ultimately taking the first two games on account of several clutch offensive moments. To bounce back, the Bears rallied together, scraping together a 9-8 victory in game three and tying the series in game four with a mercy ruling final score of 15-5. 

All glittered up and running on zero rational-decision-making skills, we headed to the start line. We told ourselves that we would be running at a nice and easy “party pace.” 

The No. 8 WashU men’s tennis team took on the No. 3 University of Chicago and the unranked Greenville University, resulting in a stark contrast in competition that outlined the team’s potential and the work still ahead. A tough 6-1 loss to one of the country’s top teams exposed inconsistencies in execution, while a dominant 7-0 sweep of Greenville highlighted the team’s ability to reset and focus. 

No 14. WashU made an astonishing comeback, winning 23-5 after losing the opening game of the series against an unranked New York University (NYU) on April 3-5.

The only thing better than breaking one NCAA Division III record is breaking two. That is exactly what senior Kylie Spytek did in her final indoor track and field meet at WashU. Spytek was a crucial part of setting records in the 4×400 meter relay and the distance medley relay, two key pieces that allowed the Bears to take home their second-ever NCAA Women’s Indoor Track and Field Championship.  “It was the perfect culmination of the past four years,” Spytek said. “I’ve always enjoyed the indoor season a lot.

The No. 8 WashU softball team left no room for debate this weekend, dominating the New York University (NYU) Violets in a three-game sweep on April 3 and 4. The Bears only gave up two runs across the entire weekend while scoring 22 of their own.

Fresh off of an indoor national championship win for the WashU women’s track and field team and a strong showing from the men’s side, WashU track and field kicked off their outdoor season at home looking to build on their success – and did just that. 

These victories came at the end of a dominant series sweep, where the Bears defeated the Maroons via the mercy rule in all three games. The three wins marked their first University Athletic Association (UAA) series win and seventh series sweep of the season.

The losses are uncharacteristic for this year’s WashU team, as they have an 18-5 record.
