GLENDALE — Concerning the landscape of junior college men’s tennis, there’s probably little argument that the Western State Conference might be among the elite in California. After all, the top-ranked team in the state resides in the conference in Ventura College. Glendale Community College and Santa Barbara City College have had some respectable teams in recent years. Put all of the teams together in the conference’s individual tournament, and there’s no telling what might happen.

For the Glendale Community College softball team, the postseason will begin much the same as the regular season did - with an early matchup with Ventura College. The first meeting carried little importance - Ventura edged Glendale, 2-0, for its first loss of the season in a Vaquero Softball Classic contest, but the Vaqueros still advanced anyway when the Pirates were unable to play in the tournament finals. The stakes are much higher now, as the teams are now set to do battle in the opening round of the 2012 California Community College Athletic Assn.

GLENDALE — From their days as a standout doubles team at Glendale High, Glendale Community College women's tennis players Samantha Sismundo and Sevana Zargarian have been a package deal. Continuing that trend, they will both make an appearance at the upcoming Southern California Regionals as a doubles team, but only one of the two advanced to the regionals as a singles competitor out of the round of 16 in the Western State Conference Tournament at Ventura College on Saturday.

GLENDALE — Glendale Community College men's tennis doubles players Alex Sarkissian and Trevor Campbell repeatedly proved that they could dominate during the regular-season portion of Western State Conference play. The duo showed it could also do the same in the conference tournament. Sarkissian and Campbell punched their ticket to the Southern California Regionals by sweeping their two sets on Friday at Ventura College. The top-seeded doubles team earned a first-round bye and automatically qualified for the round-of-16, which will be played today.

GLENDALE — Four men’s tennis players and two women’s competitors will represent the Glendale Community College tennis programs in the Southern California Individual Regionals at Long Beach City College on April 29 after winning performances in the round of 16 at their respective Western State Conference Tournaments on Saturday. Competing at Santa Barbara City College, the Vaqueros men’s doubles teams of Emanuel Haug and Joey Tresierras and Dinusha Wijesuriya and Paul Nagapetyan each advanced.

GLENDALE — A lack of course familiarity has been a recurring problem for the members of the Glendale Community College men’s golf team throughout the season. The Vaqueros, a third-year program, have played the majority of their matches this campaign on courses that they have only read about. No practice rounds and not being able to learn all the quirks of a course make things even more difficult. The Vaqueros tried their luck Monday during a Western State Conference match at Saticoy Country Club in Somis.
