Ventura College Men's Tennis has been dominant in the Western State Conference for the better part of two-plus decades. The Pirates reasserted that by closing out Glendale 6-3 last week to clinch at least a share of the WSC crown for the 19th time in the past 22 full seasons. The game-winner came from sophomore Julian Tellez, who claimed the final game of his suspended match at No. 4 singles, and he had also won earlier in No. 3 doubles with Edgar Ploquin. The Taft High School graduate also claimed a pair of points on Friday in VC's 9-0 sweep of Orange Coast. On the year he is 10-3 in singles play, mostly at the Nos. 3 and 4 slots, and 8-4 in Nos. 2 and 3 doubles. Julian is this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by M & M Sports.
