Women's Tennis Falls at Antelope Valley

The Pirates' women's tennis team took a hit by default, falling to Antelope Valley College 6-3 Tuesday afternoon in Lancaster. The Pirates lost two points, one at No. 6 singles and the other at No. 3 doubles as they did not have six available players, for the difference in the match. Victoria Neumann and Denissa Garcia won in singles play while Tanya Thompson and Keressa Garland posted a doubles victory for VC (5-11, 5-7).

Neumann posted a 6-4, 6-4 win in the No. 1 singles slot while Garcia won at No. 5 singles, 7-5, 6-2. Garland narrowly lost her No. 5 singles match, 3-6, 7-6, 6-4. In doubles, Thompson and Garland posted an 8-5 victory in the No. 2 slot.
