Saddleback looked good from the outset, sweeping the 2's, 3's and 4's in claiming the win. 

Nicole Hylton and Hannah Ray were the first to record a point when they raced past their opponents at the 3's with a 21-8, 21-10 win.  Shortly thereafter, Eva Gardner and Kyra Bouldin recorded a second win over their opponents at the 4's, 21-13, 21-17.  The Bobcats then secured the team match when Cori Willcoxson and Kayla Ostovar finished off their opponents at the 2's, 21-15, 21-16.

Saddleback played hard but came up short in three sets at the 1's and 5's.

Saddleback is now 3-5 overall and 3-1 in Orange Empire Conference play following the win.  The Bobcats will take on Orange Coast College later in the day.
