IVC was ranked No. 3 in the first poll, sponsored by Tennis-Point, on Feb. 8.
With two more wins last week, the Lasers have a record of 7-0 overall and 6-0 in the Orange Empire Conference.
Irvine Valley has this week off for spring break, but plays its final two matches of the regular season next week. The Lasers play at Fullerton next Tuesday at 2 p.m. and then host Riverside on Thursday at 2 p.m.
