Canyons Begins 2025 Season with Road Loss at Mt. SAC

By Jesse Muñoz/COC Sports Information Director

WALNUT — College of the Canyons started its 2025 campaign with a road trip to Mt. San Antonio College, eventually falling 7-2 to the host Mounties.

Canyons (0-1) earned a doubles victory point from the team of Bella Soloman and Izzy Leifheit who teamed in the No. 3 position.

Mt. SAC (1-0) nearly swept the singles competitions by taking victories across the first five matches. However, Leilani Figalan emerged with a singles victory (6-2, 6-3) from the No. 6 spot to prevent the sweep and give Canyons its first singles point of the season.

COC is back on the road Tuesday, Jan. 28 at Orange Coast College. First serve is scheduled for 2 p.m.
