Santa Barbara High’s girls tennis team got pushed by Dos Pueblos, but the Dons’ strength at the top of their lineup helped them pull out a 12-6 victory in the Channel League opener at DP.
Mattea Kilstofte and Madison Hale didn’t lose a game in winning their three sets, and Santa Barbara’s No. 1 doubles team of ?Megan Grant and Lisa Santry went 3-0.
Dos Pueblos singles player KC Egger makes a backhand return on Tuesday.
“The top of our lineup came through again with a strong performance,” Santa Barbara coach Greg Tebbe said “Dos Pueblos won the close sets today, so we still have plenty of work to do before we are at the level we need to be at for the playoffs. Matches like this are good for us and I look forward to playing DP again later this season.”
DP’s No. 2 doubles team of Amber Shorpe and Helena Lee went 2-1.
“Dos Pueblos played well. They are a young team and I was impressed how they competed throughout the match,” Tebbe said.
Santa Barbara is 3-0 overall while Dos Pueblos is 3-1.
