Men’s tennis: Pirates fare well at OEC Tournament

MISSION VIEJO - Orange Coast College men’s tennis players Marcel

Brouwer, Alan Hoang and Mason Wei will each be taking a trip to Palm

Desert for the Southern California Regional Tournament, May 4-6,

following their strong performances in the Orange Empire Conference

Tournament last week.

In singles action, Brouwer advanced to the quarterfinals, before

encountering a three-set setback to Saddleback’s Arif Hasan.

Wei and Hoang reached the doubles quarterfinals, before being ousted by

the eventual champions David DiMartino and Brock Berry, also of

Saddleback.

“Our guys gave one of the top doubles teams in the state all they could

handle,” Coach Tandy Gillis said. “They played a heck of a match against

them.”

Quarterfinalists in both singles and doubles advanced to the SoCal

Regionals, which will be held at the Monterey Country Club.
