Junior Lindsey Wilkins, the intercollegiate No. 8, suffered a 9-6, 9-4, 9-0 loss to third-ranked Lynn Leong at No. 2 as Leong relied on her range and efficient play to win another match for the two-time defending intercollegiate champion Bantams (4-1).
“She’s tricky, she’s deceptive and she’s got a lot of experience,” Wilkins said. “I was beaten. I didn’t beat myself.”
In the second game, Leong extended her streak of consecutive tallies to 10, building a 7-0 lead. Wilkins drew back to 7-4, but Leong put the game away with two more points as Helal—who was refereeing the game—became increasingly reluctant to accede...
Wilkins then served just once as Leong stormed to a 9-0 victory in the third game.
“She plays a very slow, steady pace and I play at a very fast pace, so her style runs counter to mine,” Wilkins said. “She takes you out of your rhythm.”
