SBCC’s Nicci Yvanovich and Amy Sagraves had their chances on Saturday afternoon but couldn’t close the door in the quarterfinals of the Community College women’s doubles at the 111th Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament.
Alex McDonald and Nicole Simone of Reedley rallied for a 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (5) victory at the Ojai Athletic Club.
“We had two match points in the second set and two more in the third,” said Vaquero coach Debbie Ekola.
“We led for most of the match and had it on our racquets. It was a disappointing and tough loss.”
Yvanovich and Sagraves will compete in singles and doubles at the Southern Cal Individual Regional on Thursday at Grossmont in El Cajon.
