TORRANCE, Calif. – El Camino College suffered its fifth straight loss with a 6-3 defeat against Fullerton Tuesday afternoon at the ECC Tennis Courts.

The match was very close, particularly in the singles portion as three of the six matches all required a tiebreaking third set. Unfortunately for the Warriors they were unable to come up with wins in any of those matches as they went 1-5 in singles play.

The Warriors will be back home to wrap up it's five-match homestand on Thursday with an Inland Empire Athletic Conference match against Cerritos. First serve is set for 2 p.m.
