Schön trades wins in Gonzaga Invitational singles draw
Clara Schön split wins in the Gonzaga Invitational singles draw, which is exactly the kind of result that keeps a fall season interesting. She didn't sweep the field, but she didn't get swept either. That's a real tennis player's weekend, taking the good with the tough and learning from both.
The Gonzaga Invitational is a solid late-season test, and Schön showed she can hang with that level of competition. Winning some, losing some, but walking away with matches under her belt. For a program that spends November grinding through these invites, that's a win in itself.
We've been tracking Schön's fall run pretty closely around here. If you want the full picture of how she got to Spokane swinging, our earlier piece on how she "Takes on Gonzaga as Fall Season Wraps Up" fills in the gaps. It's worth a read if you're following the trajectory.
For now, give Schön credit. She went across the state, traded punches in the singles draw, and came back with more than she started with. That's how you build a player. Go Cougs.
