While most of the universe was glued to the television, watching the USA vs. Japan in the Women’s World Cup soccer finale, closer to home was more finals action “in full swing.”
The Cathedral Oaks Athletic Club hosted the 2011 Santa Barbara Patrons Junior Tennis Circuit.
“We had incredible conditions for tennis this weekend and had a wonderful tournament,” said Hugh Stratman, COAC Tennis Director.
Both he and Liz Frech, the Dos Pueblos tennis coach, served as co-directors for the weekend tourney.
