San Luis Obispo girls tennis team to play on the road
The San Luis Obispo High girls tennis team learned Wednesday its CIF-Southern Section Division III semifinal playoff match would be on the road rather than at home.
The Tigers (19-1) moved into the semifinals with a 9-9, 81-76 games tiebreaker win over Valencia on Tuesday but had to await the outcome of a match between Pacifica of Garden Grove and South Pasadena to find out if they’d be playing at home or traveling.
South Pasadena and Pacifica not only tied 9-9 Tuesday, but also in games, 64-64, so the two met again Wednesday, with South Pasadena prevailing in a “super tiebreaker,” 10-8. Had Pacifica won, San Luis Obispo would’ve played at home.
San Luis Obispo’s match at South Pasadena will be at 2 p.m. today.
