LANCASTER — The Antelope Valley College women’s tennis team recorded its first victory of the season, defeating College of the Sequoias 5-4 at home on Saturday.
“I’m so happy for all of them that we were able to put it together and get a win,” AVC coach Justin Webb said.
The Marauders (1-5) have been showing great improvement each time they hit the court and knew a win was close.
They avenged a 5-4 loss to Sequoias last week and many of the scores improved from one week to the next.
One of the big differences this week was Marbella Rubio picking up a big 6-0, 6-0 victory at No. 3 singles after losing to the same opponent last week, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2. It was her first win in over a year.
Kristi Henderson and Frida Anguiano won their doubles match 8-2 and Henderson went on to win her singles match 6-0, 6-1.
“Kristi continues to be very consistent,” Webb said, adding she hasn’t felt the best the last few matches, but she hasn’t let it get to her.
Gabriela Garcia and Jessica Huynh won their doubles match by default and Huynh also won her singles match by default.
Webb also saw improvement from Rubio and doubles partner Juliana Martinez, who were playing together for just the third time this season. They had match point, but ended up losing their set 9-7.
Garcia lost her singles match 6-1, 6-1, while Martinez put up a good fight at No. 5, but lost 2-6, 6-4, 10-7.
Anguiano also improved her singles scores from last week, falling 6-4, 6-4, after losing 6-0, 6-0 last Saturday.
“Frida was playing 5 and 6 singles for us last year and she’s at 2 this year,” Webb said. “The amount of progress she’s shown is just amazing. Really pleased with her improvement.
The Marauders travel to Santa Monica on Tuesday.
