La Mirada, Calif. –Now that's a way to complete a career.
Azusa Pacific's lone senior, Jessalyn Lau, didn't drop a game in her final appearance at home, leading Azusa Pacific to a 9-0 GSAC victory over Biola in both teams' regular-season finale.
Lau, a 4-year Cougar out of Aiea, Hawaii, teamed with Leah Hoffee to beat the Biola team of Christine Garner/Kristen Williams, 8-0, at No. 2 doubles. Then on her own, she swept by Williams, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 4 singles. She was the only Cougar not to yield a game on the day, though Hoffee came close, winning 6-0, 6-1 at No. 2 singles.
The victory extends Azusa Pacific's winning streak over Biola to 22 consecutive matches. The Cougars now wait for a likely at-large bid into next month's NAIA Championship Tournament in Mobile, Ala.
