College of the Canyons played to a convincing 7-2 conference win over Ventura College on Moica to strengthen its potential playoff resume.

Canyons (13-5, 9-4) has now equaled a program-best 13 wins to match the 2022 team. That year's squad finished the year 13-3 and won the program's first Western State Conference (WSC) championship.

The current Lady Cougars currently sit third in the conference standings behind Glendale (15-3, 11-2) and Santa Monica (10-5, 10-3) with one regular season match remaining. That record has COC poised for the program's second postseason berth.

On Monday, Canyons earned a pair of doubles points and won five of six singles matches. One point on each side was earned by default. 

Sydney Tamondong and Estrella Segura played to a doubles win from the No. 1 spot with both then going on to win their singles matchups. 

Tamondong at No. 1 and Segura at No. 2 led a Canyons contingent that also saw No. 4 Nina Laurien and No. 5 Faith Abt play to victory.

Canyons, winners in three of the last four, will next play at Santa Monica in the regular season finale Tuesday, March 26 at 2 p.m.
