Ventura Rolls to Victory at Orange Coast

The Ventura College men's tennis team continued its undefeated regular season with a convincing 8-1 win at Orange Coast Friday in Costa Mesa. Julian Tellez and Valentino Oggero each were double winners on the courts for VC (12-0, 5-0) while Santino Serralonga also recorded a pair of points in the victory.

Ventura swept the doubles competition, rolling to the early 3-0 advantage. Lucas Abreau and Eduardo Gorgonio Criscuolo claimed an 8-1 win in No. 2 doubles before Tellez and Jared Gillespie won in the No. 3 slot, 8-5. Serralonga and Oggero followed that up with an 8-6 victory in No. 1 doubles.

Serralonga earned a point by default in No. 2 singles before Oggero rolled to a love and one triumph in No. 4 singles. Abreau dropped a narrow 3-6, 8-6, 11-9 decision at No. 3 and Robinson Pelluault won in No. 6 singles, 6-2, 6-0. Jinsei Tajima continued his strong play with a 6-2, 4-6, 10-5 victory in the No. 1 match and Tellez finished up the day with his 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 5.

Ventura will complete the regular season with a make-up date at Bakersfield on Monday March 27 before hosting the Western State Conference singles and doubles championships at the VC Tennis Center beginning Thursday March 30.
