Carpinteria girls tennis continued its dominance in Citrus Coast League play with a 16-2 win over Channel Islands on Thursday.
“It was a solid effort from our team today, especially after our emotional win two days ago against Malibu,” Warriors coach Charles Bryant said. “We started a little slow but quickly regained our form and put in a very good team effort.”
It was a complete sweep in singles play for Carpinteria as Taylor Trembly, Charlotte Cooney and Izzy Scott combined to go 9-0.
In doubles, the pairings of Allison Banks/Sasha Porinsh and Keyla Manriquez/Valeria Zamora both went 3-0.
“None of their sets were easy and I give our team and the Raider duos credit as the doubles matches were hard fought and entertaining to watch,” Bryant said. “We just seemed to be a bit more experienced in some of the bigger points and games.
“This was a game we had to be careful of and our players knew it. Although we started a bit slow, we were prepared and ready.”
The Warriors are now 13-1 on the year and 9-0 in league play. They will face off against Hueneme on Tuesday.
Dos Pueblos 17, Rio Mesa 1
The Chargers were near-perfect in a 17-1 win over the Spartans, going 9-0 in singles play and 8-1 in doubles.
“It was a very solid team effort,” Dos Pueblos coach Rob Schiff said. “We played well across the lineup and managed to get 15 players in to play at least a set. There was excellent energy and team spirit.
“We are still improving and hope to be at our best by the last part of our schedule, hopefully leading into the playoffs.”
With the win, the Chargers moved to 6-3 on the season and 4-2 against Channel League opponents.
Arroyo Grande 6, Santa Ynez 3
The Pirates struggled in doubles play and ultimately fell to Arroyo Grande, 6-3.
All three of Santa Ynez’s points came from singles, as Kate Mazza, Paige Halme and Grace Sugich each walked away with victories.
Mazza completed a 6-4, 6-4 sweep while Halme and Sugich took down their opponents in a tiebreaker set.
With the loss, Santa Ynez dropped to 6-8 overall and 3-6 in league action.
