Zionne Lee won a 3-hour, 20-minute marathon over Bailey Sindle 6-7 (3), 6-3, 7-5 to give SBCC a 4-2 lead in Thursday's WSC women's tennis match at Ventura and the Vaqueros went on to post a 6-3 victory.
After Ventura (6-6, 3-4) took the No. 1 doubles, Amanda Berke and Edda von Hodenberg clinched the win with an 8-5 decision in the No. 3 doubles.

Kolkman is perfect on the year – 7-0 in singles and 6-0 in doubles.
