Ventura Shuts Out Saddleback

The Ventura College men's tennis team kept their early season roll going on Friday with a 9-0 victory over Saddleback at the VC Tennis Center. Robinson Pelluault was the only double-winner for VC (4-0, 2-0) with triumphs in No. 2 doubles with Jared Gillespie and in No. 6 singles. Jinsei Tajima and Valentino Oggero also posted love, love wins in Nos. 1 and 4 singles, respectively. The Pirates played 11 players in the 12 possible spots against the Bobcats, showing off their depth and versatility.
