Top-Seeded San Diego Eliminates Pilots from WCC Championships

CLAREMONT, Calif. – The Portland Pilots dropped a 4-0 decision to No. 30 ranked and top-seeded San Diego in the semifinals of the 2016 West Coast Conference Championships Friday afternoon at the Biszantz Family Tennis Center.

The Pilots (16-8) completed the season with a strong showing against the heavily favored and more experienced Toreros (22-7).

"I don't think we have anything to be embarrassed about today," Portland head coach Aaron Gross said. "USD is by far the best team in the conference talent-wise and just had a little bit too much for us today. We had some chances in the doubles, which would have put us in a little better position going into the singles, but they just have a little too much firepower all the way through their lineup.
