Girls tennis: Sailors claim league title

IRVINE - Strong doubles play allowed Newport Harbor girls’ tennis

team to clinch the Sea View League title with a 12-6 win over host

Woodbridge.

“I was real proud of the girls,” Coach Fletcher Olson said. “It was

great to see them come through like we did today.”

Two doubles teams swept their sets for the Sailors (14-1, 7-0 in

league).
