San Juan Capistrano, CA — The Lions received a gift today as Laguna visited at less than full strength. Again, as yesterday, our team's scouting report was not fully funded, so we went with our gut... and stacked doubles. The Breakers #1 girl was unbeatable, so Scarlett and Brookelyn were moved to the other side of the ledger, paired with Ellie and Aerin respectively; both duos swept two sets easily. This left Naomi, Isabell and Ava in singles where they picked up 5 sets. Peyton/Milana and Scarlett/Ellie pick up substitute hat tricks as Kylie/Juliana and Chiara/Elliana were victorious in the 3rd round. Cecelia helped earn a singles hat trick, winning at line#2 in place of Isabella. The Lions showed up in force with 12 subs attending, who cheered, supported and subbed in for their teammates round three. This doesn't happen often, it's a good problem; the MVP only takes 6 or 7 athletes max and I don't have enough slots to fill. EVERYONE who played today was an MVP! The Lions will be on a hard campaign to shore up any weaknesses that need to be addressed before League starts Oct 8th at OLu. GO LIONS !!!
