GCC women sweep conference championship After compiling a I2 win and one loss seasonal record, Coach Dorothy Clayton's women's ten- nis team went on to score a very impressive sweep of matches in the state junior college champion- ships. Glendale's total of 36 points doubled the output of the closest competition, Mesa Community College. When the smoke had cleared, it was all Glendale. Mary Ellen Sallas defeated her team- mate, Yolie Noriega for the singles championship. Number one rank- ing singles player Sandy Stair was an upset victim in the first round play but recouped with the consol- ation singles title. BonnieHKensmoe and Karen Nel- son were crowned state doubles champs by virtue of their win over teammates Sandy Stair and Cas- sie Hayes. The consolation doub- les trophy also went to GCC when Darlene Nordby and Jan Playans defeated the Mesa entrant. In all, the women carried home ll of the I6 trophies awarded in the tournament, leaving little doubt about their ability to dom- inate junior college tennis in Arizona. The only blemish on a perfect seasonal record was a loss to ASU. Later in the season, this was a- venged with a 5-4 victory. The only other close match all sea- son was a 4-3 triumph over Fuller- ton JC of California.
