Rancho Santa Margarita, CA — The Trinity singles draw was not kind to several JSerra Lions, with Elise Early playing the #1 seed, and Gabbi Basa #2 and eventual winner. JSerra's doubles, historically our strength, all survived their 1st round matches; Victoria Oh/Olivia Morris, Anna Ciraci/Aerin Fraize, and Kylie Davidson/Sophia Moncur. Victoria and Olivia used several different strategies against their first oppoonents, but, unfortunately, none of those worked against a strong MD team. Anna and Aerin quickly disposed of their initial opponent, before dropping two sets against a MDei team they narrowly lost to the previous day. Both of these MD teams ended up in the finals. In fact, they had the 2 singles finalists as well. Sophia and Kylie quickly disposed of both their doubles opponents, advancing to the day two semis. Back in the singles field, Halle Parker and Jazmine Aftabi easily defeated their round one opponents, moving over to the quarter finals. Jazmine had to play the #3 seed and played well, in a 2 set loss. Halle then played the #4 seed, had a very competitive 1st set, which could have gone either way.. Her OLu opponent was up 4-1 in the 2nd set before she slipped and stained her ankle... She attempted to continue, but unfortunately was not able to. This placed Halle into the semifinals tomorrow. Due to their 1st round victories, all of the aforementioned doubles teams were assured well-earned spots on the Trinity League 2nd Team All-League! While semifinalists Kylie Davidson, Sophie Moncur and Halle Parker earned Trinity League 1st Team honors. GO LIons!
