Youngsters of all ages are invited to watch the match and take advantage of free racquet stenciling, face painting, prizes and pizza.

The match begins at 4 p.m. Both Whitman and Pacific enter the match with 3-1 NWC records.

Campus Kids Day, a promotion sponsored by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, is designed to expose more youngsters, as well as their parents and coaches, to collegiate tennis.

Members of the Whitman men's tennis team will also be on hand to root for the women's team and interact with youngsters.

Junior Alyssa Roberg and first-year teammates Courtney Lawless and Morgan Lawless play at the top of the Whitman's line-up.

Seniors Cat Goya and Megan Yoshimoto, along with junior Rachel Mizuno, lead Pacific.

Whitman downed Pacific twice last season, 7-2 in Walla Walla and 5-4 in Forest Grove, Ore.
