MEN'S TENNIS: The Pirates' men's tennis team got a measure of revenge Tuesday by defeating Glendale College 5-4 at the VC Tennis Center. It was the Vaqueros that ended VC's seven-year Western State Conference winning streak earlier this year. The match was as close as the score indicated, with three singles matches going three sets. Vitor Mendes, Matheus Montero and Victor Dos Santos all won in singles in the top three spots, with Montero coming from behind to win in three sets. Mendes and Montero were victorious in No. 1 doubles while Dos Santos and Dylan Forster won in No. 3 doubles.
Ventura will close WSC dual match play at Los Angeles Pierce on Thursday March 20 and at Bakersfield on Tuesday March 25. Both matches begin at 2:00 pm.
