GTen: Dons are league champs for 35th straight year

Santa Barbara High clinched the Channel League girls tennis team title for the 35th straight year on Tuesday with a 15-3 win at Buena.

The doubles teams of Kelli Martindale-Maddie Cuttler and Mia Wilkinson-Mali Brown went 3-0 to lead the Dons (10-2, 7-0).

“Every year our goal is to win Channel League and it is pretty remarkable that the seniors on this team have never lost a league match,” Santa Barbara coach Greg Tebbe said. “That is quite an accomplishment.

The Dons, ranked seventh in CIF Division 1, have some big matches on the horizon. They host No. 4-ranked Corona del Mar on Saturday morning and play host to No. 6 Dana Hills on Oct. 25.

“Our upcoming schedule will certainly help get us ready for the playoffs,” said Tebbe.
