Cañada women's tennis advances to state final

The Cañada women's tennis team advanced to the California Community College state tournament final with a 5-3 victory over top-seeded Chabot in the Northern California championship Monday afternoon in Hayward.

"It's still settling in a little bit," said Cañada head coach Bryan Jeong.

The Colts will travel to Bakersfield this weekend to face the Southern California champion at 1 p.m. Saturday at Bakersfield Racquet Club. Cañada will take on the winner of No. 1 El Camino and No. 5 College of the Desert.

The Colts, the No. 3 seed, and the Gladiators had split their two regular-season matches, each by a score of 5-4 as they shared the Coast Conference title. Chabot won the tiebreaker as the top seed out of the conference after beating the Colts in the second leg of round-robin play.
