The Dons finished third in league with a 4-4 record (8-10 overall). They’ll play in the Division 1 playoffs.
Santa Barbara’s doubles dominated the day, winning eight of nine sets. The teams of Taylor Kleine / Jonas Juhl and Mason Lender /Mike Chung both went 3-0. In singles, Noah Ostovany went 2-1.
