NEWBERG, Ore.- Cassidy Binder (Sophomore/Beaverton, OR) reached the final of the singles draw and she teamed up with her sister Sydnie Binder (Junior/Beaverton, OR) to reach the final of the doubles draw, as the Pacific University women's tennis team had a fantastic showing at the ITA Regional Championships hosted by George Fox University
 
Singles
 
Cassidy Binder was the number-two seed in the singles draw and showed her dominance, as she only lost one game in her first three matches (6-0, 6-0), (6-0, 6-0), (6-0, 6-1). The sophomore continued by gutting out a three-set victory in the semifinal against Linfield's Tessa Kern (6-3, 4-6, 6-3).

Doubles
