Snyder advances to CIF semifinals

Corona del Mar High senior Garrett Snyder, testing the singles field

after claiming CIF Southern Section doubles titles the last two

seasons, won twice Friday to advance to today’s semifinals at the

section individual tournament at SeaCliff Country Club in Huntington

Beach.

Snyder, the No. 4 seed, eliminated Stanley Sarapanich from

Crescenta Valley, 6-4, 6-4, in the Round of 16, then swept

Brentwood’s Eric McKean, 6-3, 7-6 (6-3 in the tiebreaker) in one

quarterfinal.

The University of Texas-bound standout will square off against
