San Juan Capistrano, CA — The lopsided score does not tell the whole story. Yes, Santa Margarita is very solid this year, from top to bottom, however, JSerra is the only team to even get a set of the Eagle’s JV team this year in Trinity League.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — JV Lady Lions got their overall record into the positive (now 8-7 overall, 3-1 in Trinity League) with a resounding win over visiting Mater Dei this afternoon.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Kaitlyn and McKenna won 50% of our total sets today !

Newport Beach, CA — Corona Del Mar won the first round 4-2, but as they subbed liberally, JSerra caught up and finished with a huge, historical victory over the Sea Kings: 12-6! Legitimate head to head first round victories earned MVP honors for Rosalia Ripullo who defeated their best player 6-3 and for Julia Harkins, who defeated their #3 player by that same score. Rosalia was the only Lion to win all 3 sets played this afternoon - an outstanding performance.

Newport Beach, CA — JSerra's Frosh girls traveled to Newport Beach to play Corona del Mar HS and came away with a rare victory vs this heralded program. "They are one of the only programs that have larger numbers than we [normally] have", says KOach Kirk. "They have 3 frosh teams and we were fortunate that their coach subbed generously today." CdM fielded a strong doubles crew in round 1 and the Lions were only able to pick up 2 singles matches, Rosalia at line #1 and Julia at line #3

San Clemente, CA — JSerra Frosh / Soph girl's tennis sailed into some very rough seas, losing to the Triton-esses of San Clemente 2 - 15 in the season opener. Great turnout .....Thank you parent drivers, photographers and football bleacher spectators ("tree people as Neil Diamond would call you).

San Juan Capistrano, CA — In the last match of the year for our “C” squad, they teamed with our “B” squad to defeat the visiting Monarchs. No matter the sport, regardless of the team level, it’s always a good day when JSerra beats Mater Dei at anything😀🎾👍

Fountain Valley, CA — Our DH1 traveling squad came so close today to notching another victory. We battled the Fountain Valley Barons to a 9-9 tie, only to lose on game count, 69-74😱Every game counts!....a good lesson for our young ladies to learn before (some of them) moving up to JV next season.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — DH-1 took care of Laguna Beach handily in our first match of the season; squads A & B kept up the winning edge vs The Breakers 10-8 this afternoon in a back and forth match.

San Clemente, CA — Pretty much the same score as before, but with 7 courts, we got 3 extra sets in, so everybody got to play a lot of tennis this morning in this all doubles format. Kudos to MVP’s for the day:

Huntington Beach, CA — Thank you for all the frosh players and parents who ventured to Huntington Beach on their day off to find no frosh team available. We put together a match with their JV team, 2 rounds and closest we came to any set was Hayden with Briana P, who fought to a tiebreaker in round one at line #3 doubles. With confirmation email in hand AND later signed contract from HB, Coach Kirk asked for the deserved forfeit, which we posted. "I am proud of how the girls competed vs. this strong JV team" said Kirk, it's the level our girls are striving for eventually anyway, so, they got a taste of it a year or two earlier!" Go lIons!

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Northwood was 30 minutes late and we were chomping at the bit! Waiting to avenge a 8 - 10 loss to them earlier in the season. First round was split 3-3, thanks to a huge tiebreaker win by Macclaine and Bella, 10-8! Second round the same, thanks to a great comeback tiebreaker win by Lauren and Brianna! They were down 2-5 and won 6-5! The Lions, always making it interesting, go to the final set, where we were down 1 - 3, before Natalie and Kayla climbed back into the lead 5-4, but couldn't break serve to avoid the breaker. Natalie and Kayla fought hard but came up 2 points short, 5-7. Had they been able to capture the breaker for a 9-9 overall tie, JSerra would have lost on game count 7- to 80.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Again, regardless of a lopsided score, there was some very good tennis played today.
