Host Livingston eked out a 5-4 win

"We didn't play our best tennis," coach Harden said. "We lost because the effort wasn't there and they outworked us."

Ceres High, 15-1 overall and 6-1 in the WAC standings as of Sunday, hosted Central Catholic on Monday and will compete at Los Banos this Wednesday.

"We definitely have some tough matches ahead," Bryan said. "We still control our own destiny."
