Irvine, CA — Best thing about today’s match - we had 9 players and didn’t have to forfeit for having too few players. Thank you ladies for sharing your Easter vacation with your teammates! Next best thing, our girls battled the Timberwolves for 2 1/2 hours. (In years past, we have lost to NHS in record time: once the FS boys lost 18-0 in 1 hour and 15 minutes!😱) Additionally, since we had only 9 players, everybody got to play 3 full sets today with no substitutions.... which was a little tough on the singles players. Thank you to a couple of JV players: Rosalia Ripullo and Julia Harkins for filling in - and accounting for 5 of our 8 set wins - earning MVP honors today. Additional MVP honors to: Fionnuala McClain who won 2 of 3 sets of singles played - both tie-breakers! Well done.👍🎾 Last, but not least, MVP honors to Jacqueline Poli with Sienna Livak who outlasted their doubles opponents 12-10 in a tie-breaker....a well earned victory for these two young players! A huge pattern in today’s match that coaches clue in on: JSerra won ALL 5 of the tie-breaker sets played today! Way to go girls. Next up: at home vs Sage Hill next Saturday, April 17th, 1pm.
