Tiebreakers go Royals’ way in 12-6 win

San Marcos came out on top in three tiebreakers in the second round on Friday, tilting the girls tennis match in the Royals’ favor against San Luis Obispo. San Marcos went on to a 12-6 victory that wasn’t decided until the Royals won the last three sets of the day.

Caitlin Mannix swept three singles sets to support the doubles teams, which won 8-of-9 sets for San Marcos. Mannix’s victory over SLO’s Abigail Will, which came in a tiebreaker, was the first in her high school career.

Parisa Fallahi and Liz Morris came back from 0-5 down to win a set 7-5 in another close set that went the Royals’ way. Fallahi and Morris went on to sweep their three sets, as did Christine Pearson and Amy Ransohoff.

San Marcos returns to Channel League play on Tuesday with a match against Dos Pueblos.
