The SCC Tennis Teams had matches last week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, as the tennis season heats up in the NWAACC.

On Thursday, the weather played a role as Skagit Valley College came to Shoreview Park for a match against SCC. The SCC men's team was up 2-1 after doubles, as SCC #1 and #3 doubles teams claimed victory before the rain shut the match down. The SCC women's team was down 3-2 before the match was called, as SVC won 2 of the 3 doubles matches and the Dolphins and the Cardinals split two singles matches. The match will be finished the first week of May.

On Friday, the Bellevue College's women's team came to Shoreview Park and came away with a 9-0 victory over of the SCC women's team. The defending NWAACC Champion Bulldogs played well, shutting out the out-manned Dolphins.

And on Saturday, in a highly anticipated battle on the men's side, the Dolphins battled the Community College of Spokane. The undefeated Dolphins were hoping to maintain their perfect record, but it was not to be, as CC of Spokane won 6-3. SCC won at #1 and #5 singles and #1 doubles. Yassar Khan, SCC's #1 players won his match in straight sets and help lead the #1 doubles team along with Alex Casper to a 6-2, 3-6 and 6-0 victory. Josh Cell was the other winner for SCC, as he won 6-3, 6-2 at the #5 position.

The SCC women's team dropped a 9-0 match to Spokane, as they had to forfeit three matches out of the gate, as they only had four players suited up. Mandy Lam did play well for the team, dropping her #1 singles match 6-4, 6-4

The SCC men's team is now 2-1 on the season and the Women's Team falls to 0-4. Both teams travel to Spokane, WA next weekend to take on Treasure Valley CC and the CC of Spokane in dual matches.
