A cool breeze swept across the EC tennis courts as the Warriors dominated 8-1 against Long Beach City College on March 21 to remain undefeated.

“It was pretty routine today,” Ashley Guerrero, 26, economics major, said. “Just another day at the office.”

Rain caused a game on March 7 against Mt. San Antonio College to be canceled and Guerrero said the Warriors completed their two remaining doubles matches to conclude 5-4 on March 19.

The Warriors must complete an additional doubles match that may affect their opportunity at securing a conference title; the match will take place on March 26 at Mt. SAC.

Because Long Beach forfeited four matches, the Warriors claimed victory even before they began their doubles matches. EC won 5-1 in singles, 8-2 in one doubles match, and LBCC forfeited the remaining matches.

Chung Young Shin, 26, film major and No. 1 for singles, was relaxed and won both sets 6-0. However, Shin stressed the problems of being too relaxed.

“I made many mistakes today, but she [her opponent] made more,” Shin said. “You don’t know who is going to win, so you can’t be relaxed.”

Because Kia Choi, 20, astrophysics major and No. 2 for singles, was not competing, Guerrero was bumped to the No. 2 spot for singles and she won both sets 6-2.

“Playing No. 2 is pretty hard,” Guerrero said. “I don’t know how Kia does it. She’s pretty good at it and she doesn’t stress.”

Similiarly, Karin Endo, 21, business major and No. 3 for singles, was not competing, so Shenae Shampine, 21, psychology major, was given her first opportunity to compete at No. 3. She won both sets 6-0.

“Every single match is an opportunity to work on your game.” Shampine said. “I have what it takes to go all the way if I practice more.”

Jessica Castile, 20, business administration major, won both sets 6-3 for singles and won 8-2 in doubles with Shampine as her partner.

“I was consistent in singles and we dominated in doubles,” Castile said.

Kelly Ng, 19, business administration major, won her singles match by default, but did not perform well in a practice match against a “powerful and fast opponent.”

“I learned that I have to be ready for the next shot,” Ng said. “The return is very critical.”

Ng added she played for EC tennis last year and notices differences in this year’s team.

“This team is awesome. We hang out, celebrate birthdays, and even have plans for spring break,” Ng said. “I enjoy the time I spend with my teammates.”

Today at 2 p.m., the Warriors play against Cerritos College at the EC tennis courts.
