Canyons Wins Pair to Keep Conference Win Streak Alive
By Jesse Muñoz/COC Sports Information Director
College of the Canyons won consecutive Western State Conference (WSC) matches over Antelope Valley and Ventura College to remain undefeated in conference play.
Canyons (8-1, 4-0) was able to get back in the win column after suffering its lone loss, a non-conference affair, to visiting American River College, the defending state champions, back on Feb. 10.
The Lady Cougars opened the week with a 6-3 home win over Antelope Valley College on Feb. 13. COC took a pair of points in doubles play before winning four of its six singles matchups.
The teams of Estrella Segura/Nina Laurien and Faith Abt/Marie McCormick both won in doubles play. In singles action it was No. 1 Sydney Tamondong, No. 3 Segura, No. 5 Abt and No. 6 McCormick all coming away with wins.
The victory moved COC to 4-1 at the Cougar Courts facility.
Later in the week, Canyons was able to get a 5-4 road win over host Ventura.
This time it was the duo of Tamondong/Wingo taking a point in No. 1 doubles with the No. 3 team of Abt/McCormick following suit.
In singles play a slight shuffling of the lineup resulted in wins from No. 1 Tamondong, No. 2 Segura and No. 6 Jaclyn Wosk.
The victory moved COC's road record to 4-0.
After having its Feb. 20 road match at Santa Barbara City College postponed due to inclement weather, Canyons is next scheduled to host Glendale College at 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22.
The match at SBCC has been rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 29 at 2 p.m.
