The sister duo of Claudia and Natalie Brewer and the team of Margot Omdahl and Sarah Jacobs each won two of three sets in doubles.
In singles, Claire Stotts, Eva Kershner, and Hannah Mendez each won a match against a very strong Ventura singles lineup, said Santa Barbara coach Greg Tebbe, who’s taken over the head coaching duties.
