2014 saw a year full of high level women's doubles throughout the then Triple Crown of Women's Tennis in the 808. Many stars in the Hawaii tennis world, young & old, made their names known in this series of tournaments down the home stretch of the calendar year. However, one constant remained during the annual Women's Night Doubles event at KRC: BYUH Women's tennis! For years, when the school had an athletics program, Brigham Young University Hawaii (with their former coach, Dave Porter) would bring a crew of players from their women's division 2 college tennis team to play in Kailua. Every year, just like they did in their college tennis regular seasons, the Seasiders would dominate the opposition on the court, claiming multiple Kailua Women's Night Doubles titles as well as pretty much litter the tournament draw with loads of talent. In 2014, Karen Liu & Dallas Zhang would have the honor of representing BYUH in the Kailua Women's Night Doubles Final, mowing down team after team to reach the finale match.
But also making a statement in the tournament each year was the University of Hawaii @ Manoa. The division 1 Rainbow Wahine would always have a doubles team or two that would rise up to challenge the likes of BYUH & even the HPU Sharks (who also entered team into the tournament each year). Usually in the semis or the championship match, UH & BYUH would face off with great steaks on the line for both schools. In 2014, it would be Rainbow Wahine members Martina Kostalova & Cindy Nguyen (defending champion from 2013) that would throw down the gauntlet to Seasiders. What resulted was one of the highest quality Women's Night Doubles finals we've seen in a long time!
