The Colorado College women's tennis team nearly rallied from a 3-0 deficit, but fell just short in a 5-4 loss to Linfield University Sunday in McMinnville, Ore.
 
The Wildcats jumped out to an early 3-0 lead by sweeping the three doubles matches, including an 8-7(6) victory by Taryn Fujimori and Emma Tuttle over Christina Heffron and Gigi Jensen at the No. 2 spot.
 
In singles play, Heffron, Jensen and Magdalene Gonzales each won in three sets, but Linfield won the Nos. 2 and 3 matches to clinch the team match.
 
Heffron defeated Fujimori, 6-7(3), 6-3, 7-6(4), at the No. 1 position, Gonzales downed Allena Wong, 6-4, 2-6, 1-0(6) at No. 4 and Jensen beat Emma Tuttle, 7-5, 2-5, 1-0(12) at No. 5. Malia Rivera easily won the No. 6 match, 6-1, 6-0, over Lisa Ponti.
