Sophomores Sabrina Mendy and Ashley Le combined to win, 8-5, at the No. 1 doubles spot and the freshman duo of Soleil Zsibrita and Nicole Harper came out on top, 8-3, in IVC's other doubles victory.
In singles, Irvine Valley earned victories from Mendy (6-3, 6-7, 1-0), Zsibrita (6-1, 6-2), Harper (6-1, 6-3) and sophomore Ariyana Ash (0-6, 7-6, 1-0).
