The MSJC women's tennis team picked up a dominant win over Imperial Valley on Thursday as the Eagles defeated the Desert Warriors 8-1.

The Eagles swept through the doubles matches picking up all three points. The number one duo of Madison Williamson and Breannah Baron won 8-2 while at number two Trinity Anderson and Cameron Royo also teamed up for an 8-2 victory. MSJC completed the doubles sweep with an 8-0 win by the number three team of Savannah Llado and Jadyn Brush. The team would go on to win five of their six singles matches in straight sets.

MSJC was coming off a tough loss at Grossmont on Tuesday where the Griffins edged out the Eagles 5-4. This time only Williamson and Baron earned a point in doubles with an 8-5 win. Baron, Royo, and Brush each won their singles matches in straight sets.
