Recap
Opening round CIF win vs Temecula Valley.
San Juan Capistrano, CA — The girls played as a unit today, defeating Temecula Valley, 15 - 3. KOach rotated in all 7 subs in round 3 as Aerin / Anna closed out their round2 win over the Bears best duo. This gave the Lions the 10th set they needed to secure the match. All three starting doubles team would have completed the 9 set win: Sophia/Kylie and Jazmine/Gabbi, which would make them MVP's, all around. The only person to win 3 sets on the court for real was Victoria, who easily captured sets at line 3, then 2 before upsetting the Bears top singles player today. Rosalia had an impressive win at line 2 in the last round and Halle breezed through her 2 sets. Julia with Ava S. took on the line 1 doubles team and ended up with a neat little 6-3 victory.
"What I was MOST proud of was the comments made to us by their coaches, parents and players about 'how nice our players were, while, at the same time, how good they are! It takes character to learn how to lose with class, but, it really takes much more character to learn how to WIN with class! They also were overwhelmed by our facility.... in fact, their coach, who played high level D1 all over the country and thought our whole tennis complex was JUST BUILT!
The only bad news is the 'rong' team won for our next opponents, so we have a long drive to Goleta, Friday... but ,it will be a fun ride home with a victory!
GO LIONS !
