Cuesta has a quick turn-around and hosts Santa Barbara City on Monday (5 PM) to lead off another WSC Men's and Women's Doubleheader.  The Cougars and Vaqueros were set to open the 2023 WSC Schedule on February 2, but the game was postponed due to inclement weather.  The Cougars have a full dance car this week with three games on the schedule. They will also complete their first swing through the WSC when they travel to Woodland Hills to face Pierce on Wednesday (5 PM).  On Saturday (3 PM), switch venues and head Santa Barbara on to begin their second swing through the loop with a re-match against the Vaqueros.
