SBCC's Medina/Rossi Win WSC Pairs Tournament
SANTA MONICA, CA – Olivia Medina and Ashley Rossi won the WSC Pairs Tournament on Saturday, making it the third consecutive year the Vaqueros have won the tournament. | ORIGINAL RELEASE
Medina has been crowned champion in both of her years at SBCC, winning last season with Emma Crabbe—Crabbe won it in 2022, too. This year, Medina/Rossi defeated Ventura 1s Rojelio/Swain in the Final.
"We're really proud of how all of our teams competed this weekend," head coach Ariana Garner said.
Medina/Rossi were not the only Vaqueros duo to have a noteworthy weekend. Alexis Zevenbergen and Nevaeh Tillet (2s) finished 7th, making them one of the 8 teams to qualify for the So Cal Pairs Regionals.
3s team Charlotte Wilson and Carolina Koceman were close to qualifying, as well, finishing just a few points away from a bid in the Elite Eight. They fell against Moorpark's Thomas/Olswang 21-19, 14-21, 15-12 in the Sweet 16.
On Tuesday, the #8 Vaqueros travel to #1 San Diego Mesa with #9 Grossmont for the So Cal Team Regionals, a place SBCC is familiar with.
"We're really excited about this opportunity because last year we had a huge upset at San Diego Mesa and earned a spot at State," Garner added. "We are hoping we can do the same this year."
Following that, Medina/Rossi and Zevenbergen/Tillet will compete at the So Cal Pairs Regionals at El Camino on Friday and Saturday.
