Pirates Drop Final WSC Match
The Pirates' women's tennis team lost their final Western State Conference match of the season to front-running Santa Monica College Thursday, 5-4. VC started off with two points by default in no. 6 singles and No. 3 doubles, but managed just two more points in the match. Yannick Garcia won in No. 1 singles 7-5, 6-2 and Georgia Farrar triumphed in No. 5 singles 7-6, 6-2. VC (6-6, 4-4) will finish in third place in the WSC race with an official conference record of 6-4 due to two forfeit wins over Bakersfield, who cancelled their team earlier in the season.
