The AVC Marauders tennis team obtained their third conference win when they hosted and beat VVC Rams 7-1.
The Marauders won their first two conference games against College of the Desert and Mt. San Jacinto and lost a tough game against Rio Hondo College.
“Staying focus is not a problem,” said Marauders’ coach Bart Hansen, who is in his first year as Marauders Tennis Head Coach. “We play about 2 games a week and that helps us forget a tough lost.”
“We play how we play,” said the Marauders coach. “They (our players) have great work ethics and they come to play.”
Doubles—S. Zamora/A. Gonzalez (AVC) def. V. Prunchack/M. Griffith (VVC) 8-2; Z. Gonzalez/L. Cervantes (AVC) def. Harrison/Cline (VVC) 8-3.
Singles—Shirley Zamora (AVC) def. Vicky Prunchack (VVC) 6-1,6-2; Alex Baker (AVC) def. Sara Cline (VVC) 6-2, 6-0; Jessica Zamora (AVC) def. Michelle Griffith (VVC) 6-4, 6-8; Alexis Harrison (VVC) def. Queen Carter (AVC) 6-4, 6-3.
“We have to keep working on our unforced errors to stay competitive,” said Hansen. “I would like to finish the season with a 4-0 run.”
The Marauders (3-3, 3-1) are halfway though their season and will start their second round matches as they travel to College of the Desert (1-3) on Mar 17.
