Rezaeinezhad highlights Pirates' work at OEC tourney
COSTA MESA – Orange Coast College was the site for the 2025 Orange Empire Conference Men's Tennis Singles and Doubles Tournament on Thursday and some top-flight performances were turned in by the best individuals and duos in the conference.
Top-seeded Amir Rezaeinezhad of Orange Coast earned a spot in the SoCal Regionals by sweeping past Fullerton College's Felix Jayamaha, 6-0, 6-0.
In fact, seven of the top eight seeds all earned qualifying spots, including No. 2 Luciano Pardo of Irvine Valley (6-2, 6-2), No. 3 Augustin Daubannay of Riverside City College (6-0,6-0), No. 5 Nevin McCann of IVC (6-0, 6-4), No. 6 Giovanne Recchia of RCC (6-4, 6-1), No. 7 Lance Lao of RCC (6-2, 6-2) and No. 8 Lucas Diaz of IVC (6-1, 5-0, retired). The lone upset came at No. 4, where RCC's Charalampos Plataniotis topped the fourth-seeded David Gutierrez of Fullerton College, 6-2, 6-2.
In doubles play, the host Pirates had two duos – Rezaeinezhad/Jie Kashiwagi (8-2) and Josh Hennig/Luke Godding (8-3) -- earn regional berths, joining Saddleback's Parsa Raoufpour/Caden Chen (9-8) and Fullerton's Gutierrez/Michael Lumang (8-3).
The singles and doubles qualifiers have all earned a trip to Ojai for the 3C2A Men's and Women's Tennis State Championships, which take place April 24-27.
