Rancho Cucamonga, CA — JSerra's 2024 girls season came to an end today on a blustery wind-driven day at Los Osos High School. Postponed from yesterday due to impossible weather conditions, the Lions traveled up to the base of the mountains at approximately 1200 ft in elevation and battled in the toughest of conditions.

Fountain Valley, CA — The Lions opened up the first round with a 4-2 lead only to drop 5 of 6 sets in round 2. The third round was a tossup which left the Lions with only 8 total.

Laguna Hills, CA — Laguna Hills was kind enough to host JSerra in this late season non-league contest. The Hawks lost five good seniors from last year's team and definitely are in a rebuilding phase.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — The Lions opened the 2nd round of Trinity League play with a hard-fought gritty comeback over OLu by way of total game count; 73 to 65! This avenges a previous 8-10 loss at OLu 2 weeks ago.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — CVCHS AD and coach were very kind to come down the street and play us today, we have played only a handful of times in the past 10 years.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA — SM is a tough place to win, JSerra has done it before but was not as fortunate today.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — JSerra ladies battled today and narrowly missed out on a victory. Our doubles teams picked up six sets as singles added two, vs. two highly ranked Monarchs. KOach Kirk and captains Scarlett and Ellie studied recent results, came up with a good lineup and guessed right. Good plan.

Anaheim, CA — Fielding five freshmen starters, JSerra traveled to Anaheim to face OLu, who fought tenaciously and defeated the Lions 10 to 8.

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.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Historically, this cross-town match is always close; many 9-9 total game counts have been in this history the rest 10-8 or 8-10.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — The Lions opened up the season with a "tougher-than-it-looks" victory over the Oilers in Surf City a couple of weeks ago. Followed by two matches they schedule yearly (think Notre Dame vs Northern Illinois! jk)....Dana Hills and El Toro, to pad our "W" column. A handful of schools that would usually play us, have declined due to the new qualifying rules for CIF playoffs, Rosary drops out of our league so there goes two easy W's. Hanging on to 3 early wins is probably going to get slippery, but the girls are getting stronger every day.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Aliso brought a top-heavy singles squad today, in the form of sisters, and handed the Lions their first loss of the season. Our singles 'triage' today, Scarlett, Brookelyn and Naomi were completely stymied at line 1 and 2, but were able to pick up easy "W's" at line 3. These were their first losses of the season.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Finally, dodging heat flames and smoke; the lady Lions netters were able to get another match in today.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Two years in a row, the Dana v JSerra match was cookin', literally. We were the better chefs in the kitchen today, sweeping 8 of 9 doubles sets and 7 singles. The Dolphins were down this year, their team was much stronger last year, which is strange, because we beat them at their courts 18 - 0.

Huntington Beach, CA — Fore shadowing! This picture was taken before the match; fortunately, we were this happy afterwards too!

San Juan Capistrano, CA — JSerra’s Crimson Squad battled a very strong San Clemente team in an all doubles dual this afternoon, losing 4-14 despite some good efforts on all 6 lines of play.

Mission Viejo, CA — Last match of the season for the Gold Squad…

Newport Coast, CA — Coach Jenna and the girls had fun!

San Juan Capistrano, CA — FYI:

San Juan Capistrano, CA — In an all doubles format, both squads battled hard in the heat today, in a back and forth match. It’s good that nobody had to play singles.

Anaheim, CA — The beach team traveled inland to weather they are not used to, but, handled the heat well!

Huntington Beach, CA — What a great win for our young squad this afternoon! It came down to the last few points, with all the pressure on Jenny Ji. She got into a tie-breaker and won it 7-2, which gave us a 9-9 tie in sets, with a 68-67 win by game count! Congrats to Jenny, one of the days’s MVP’s.

Aliso Viejo, CA — JSerra lost today on scoreboard but had many 'wins'!

San Juan Capistrano, CA — There’s an old adage in the insurance business: “What the Big Print Giveth, the Small Print Taketh Away.” That’s true about today’s match w Newport Harbor. What the big scoreboard shows does not come close to telling the true story…..

Fountain Valley, CA — Fountain valley is always a tough place to play - lots of activity, old balls mixed up w new ones, windy, and usually a drum corp practicing for football games - at least that wasn’t going on. However, they are more lax about letting our parents sit court side, so for that we give thanks.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Nobody lost today, as far as the coaching staff is concerned….probably the best “feel good” loss we’ve ever encountered in 16 years of JSerra tennis.

Huntington Beach, CA — Pretty good outing for only having 8 days of workouts and challenge matches. If we played strength vs strength, JSerra comes out a winner

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Turnabout is fair play - yeah baby! After losing earlier in the season 13-5 to SM with a mixed line-up, our “Red Squad” clipped their wings this afternoon with an 11-7 all-doubles whoopin’.

Mission Viejo, CA — Playing the first match of a double-header Saturday, our BLUE GIRL Crew came through with our 3rd match victory of the 2021 fall season, defeating the Capo Valley Cougars 11-7 in a close match.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Right off the start, we coaches want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to our parents, grandparents and siblings for the best FAN SUPPORT ever! We needed you yesterday and you came through big time - thank you!

San Juan Capistrano, CA — RECAP FROSH VS ALISO NIGUEL

Newport Coast, CA — Great fan support (we WAY outnumbered them!) and all JSerra players got to play 2 full sets this afternoon. Despite the lopsided score, we were competitive across the board.
