Anaheim, CA — Good solid win this afternoon for our young team. Discounting the 3 free set wins we got (OLu was missing a #3 singles player) doubles actually won 1 more set (5) than the singles crew (4) for a pretty balanced attack.

Girls Jr. Varsity Tennis

Fullerton, CA — We had a few players missing, went up to Fullerton with 9. Rosary had only 7, so our doubles players got to play 2 sets, while we played the full cache of singles, winning all 9 sets. Doubles teams won all 6 doubles sets played, for an 18-0 victory today.

JSerra Catholic 6, Mater Dei 12
Girls Jr. Varsity Tennis

JSerra splits with Mater Dei, loses rematch 6-12.

Fountain Valley, CA — Not quite the same team we beat before (apparently MD moved 4-5 girls down from their large varsity roster to “help out” today) but that’s ok. So technically, we tied for 2nd in league, but had good enough efforts to get several JSerra players seeded in the Trinity League championships next week. There IS a rule against moving players down to (dominate) the JV tournament, so we should perform well next Tuesday.

JSerra Catholic 13, Orange Lutheran 5
Girls Jr. Varsity Tennis

JV beats OLu in 100• temp to remain in 2nd place

Anaheim, CA — Lutheran of Orange was missing a singles player, which gave our singles players 3 defaulted wins, but more importantly a rest in the heat. 🥵 MVP’s Anna Ciraci and Kylie Davidson both win 2 of 2 sets played; while Juliana “volleyball” Calo pushed their #1 player to 4-4 before falling 4-6, AFTER beating their #2 player 6-4. Great job today.

JSerra Catholic 17, Rosary 1
Girls Jr. Varsity Tennis

Lions defeat Rosary by identical score as before: 17-1.

Fullerton, CA — How do you win 17-1 when nobody loses a set? We ran out of time at Fullerton Tennis Center so we volunteered to “forfeit” the final singles set so we could all get on the ‘57’ and head back home. Rosary’s #1 player played two LONG matches vs Kylie (7-6) and then Anna (6-3)and it was already past 5pm before we could her 3rd set started.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — JV team, coached by Caroline Wilson, matched their previous 5 wins vs a very strong Santa Margarita team this afternoon. This was an improvement because 4 of our 5 set wins in the first match came from Sophia Moncur and Elise Early, who are now participating on varsity.

Kira Burke and Breanna Ursetta won in the first round of doubles, before splitting up to help Waka pick up 2 set victories.

Girls Jr. Varsity Tennis

"Thar's Gold in Them Hills"

Newport Coast, CA — Saturday at Sage Hill! Missing 3 of our starters, the Lions ventured out to Sage Hill for a Saturday 'friendly'. Our doubles were swept in the round one, with Elise and Sophia picking up 2 points in singles. Ava and Julianna along with Kira and Kylie came to life with round 2 doubles victories, coupled with 2 more singles wins by Elise and Sophia, gave the Lions a 4-2 edge, resulting in a 6-6 deadlock going in to round 3. Kira and Ava picked up a quick win vs Sage #3 duo, moving JSerra into a precarious 7-6 lead. Subbing at #3 doubles for starters Lauren and Sara, Sam and Annie fought hard before succumbing to Sage line #2, while Ava and Julianna had a tough loss vs Sage#1 team. Doubles was quick today and these matches were completed before singles even started their respective third round, JSerra now down 7 - 8. Coach Kirk says "I saw them all laughing as they counted total games [which is the tiebreaker for 9 - 9 ties] and saying they were up by 20 games, no problem. They were counting on getting the victory as their line 2 player was pitted against Mia, who had yet to win a set. Well, the one BIG problem they forgot about was Mia Carpino's will to win! Mia is the Bjorn Borg of girls high school tennis, nothing phases her!"

JSerra drops match vs El Toro 6 - 12.

Lake Forest, CA — Our A & B squads played well today, but were a bit overmatched in the doubles “draw”. Thank you Kylie Davidson and Alyssa Allado for stepping up and filling in at the last minute for missing team members. Best thing about the match was that all JSerra players were able to play full 3 sets of tennis today!

SMCHS defeats JSerra 13-5.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA — Our young JV team lost to Santa Margarita this afternoon 13-5. Disappointed in the score, but not the girls. Our starting JV team is made up of 7 freshmen and we are PROUD of the way they are playing and representing our school.
