In doubles, Sammer Aziz and Logan Liddell won three sets, while Morgan Hale and Jack Damen won their lone set together.
“I was pleased with the performance of the Santa Barbara doubles teams which were led by Sammer Aziz and Logan Liddell who went 3-0 on the day against a very strong lineup from Palos Verdes,” said Tebbe.
