The Murrieta Mesa Rams continued their upward climb in the Southwestern League rankings with a victory over crosstown rivals in Vista Murrieta.
The Rams got an incredible performance from their singles players who swept the Broncos, all but securing the match win.
No. 1 seed Chris Deddeh started the day off well, sweeping his opponent in quick fashion, winning 6-2, 6-2, and 6-1. He was followed up by No. 3 seed Nathan Hormozi who nearly matched Deddeh’s performance, winning his three sets 6-2, 6-0 and 6-0.
The Broncos double teams gave Mesa a few more problems, but the team was able to pull ahead and eventually capture a win.
With three games left in league play, the Rams will look to finish the season off on a high note before heading into league finals which start on May 5th.
Head Coach Lisa Laney has continued to turn the team around this season after a disappointing finish to the 2014-15 season, which saw them have zero players named to the All-Southwestern First Team.
Despite the continued success, the Rams and the rest of the SWL will have their hands full against Great Oak, currently ranked No. 3 in CIF-SS Division 3 polls, and Temecula Valley, ranked No. 8.
