Harvard-Westlake 11, San Marcos 7--Marissa Irvin swept at No. 1 singles and the Wolverines won seven of nine singles matches to compensate for losing five of nine doubles matches in a Division III quarterfinal at the Studio City Golf and Tennis Center.

Woodbridge 14, Simi Valley 4--The Pioneers (20-2) lost eight out of nine singles sets in a Division I quarterfinals match at Woodbridge.

Six of those singles losses were by 6-0 decisions.

Tri-Valley League Championship--Second-seeded Breanne Henkelman defeated Sarita Pouzanoff, her top-seeded St. Bonaventure teammate, 6-4, 6-4, for the singles championship at El Camino Real Park in Ventura.

The match had been delayed at various times by weather, illness and the Southern Section playoff schedule.

Both players will represent the Tri-Valley League in the Southern Section singles championship Saturday at Agoura High.
