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.

Late Non-League Contest

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.

JSerra finishes 1st Round of League @ SM

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

Huntington Beach, CA — JSerra scored best at the end vs Banning Pilots, this school has a weak team, but they were brave, competed hard, had fun and were polite and we were polite to them!

Round 2 vs host school, Marina

Huntington Beach, CA — Marina was a very formidable foe as usual. They swept our doubles teams, while Ava and Dylan captured solid victories at lines 2 and 3. As both teams watched intently, Naomi fought her way back from a 2-6 deficit to 6-7, hoping to get into a tiebreaker. Marina's girl bared down and took the last game for an 8-6 set win, 4-2 match win. Naomi played an awesome match, caught some unlucky breaks, this set could've swung either way.

JSerra Opens up w/ A Dub over Redondo

Huntington Beach, CA — JSerra opened up the 2024 Pete Brown tournament with a hard-fought victory over Redondo Union HS, 4-2. This event is round robin pool play, playing an 8-game pro set vs the other 3 teams in your pool: top team from each advance to finals.

Lions drop Trinity Home Opener 8 - 10 to Mater Dei

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.

Green Flag Out, Lions Flatten the Breakers

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.

LIONS CORRAL STALLIONS

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.

Hang on Sloopy. Hang On!

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.

Lions suffer 1st defeat vs Aliso Niguel

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.

JSerra moves to 3 and el tor OH

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

Dana Hills 3, JSerra Catholic 15

JSerra moves to 2 and oh !

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.

JSerra Advances to 2nd Round CIF Div 1

Santa Barbara, CA — The Lions traveled to Santa Barbara to play the #1 team from the Channel Island league, San Marcos, who earned a 15-2 record this year. KOach Kirk adds, "We never really know the strength of the CI league teams because we do not have 'like' opponents. Two of their girls have 6+ UTR's is all we knew. We traveled far, battled well, ate well and had fun coming home on the bus. Great day to be a LION."

2 out of 3 Ain't Bad

Anaheim, CA — When the Trinity dust cleared, there was a 2-way tie for 3rd place. JSerra was adamnat about playing off this game, which are the Trinity Bylaw Rules; but, OLu wanted a coin flip. No way were we going to settle for a coin flip for a CIF trip, it was understandable why OLu wanted that option.

Mythical City Championship Goes to San Juan Hills

Mission Viejo, CA — The Lady Lions fall to St. Margaret's 11-7 today, dropping them to 3rd place in the 'mythical' San Juan Capistrano Championship. San Juan Hills defeated JSerra earlier in pre season and handled St Margarets in the same fashion. The match was played at the beautiful new Saddleback CC tennis complex and the weather was perfect. KOach O played entire squad present, 20+, rotating a few in at start of round 2, and 8 of 9 subs in line 3.

Improvement over our initial match, a 2 - 16 loss

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA — Expectations were definitely exceeded today as the Lions were able to garner 5 more sets than our first match Sept 28. SM subbed out their line 3 player which gave us the set Neeka won, but, that was the only difference this change made.

Stallions too tough for Lions Today

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Our battle for the city championship was upended today on our own courts. San Juan Hills is just a strong team with top end strength and depth.

Good Knight JSerra

Santa Ana, CA — SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA — We've had Foothill's number for the last couple of years, mainly CIF Championship game and the rematch of last years nonleague early in the schedule. Today was different. There were several bright spots for the girls, though; Olivia Nowlan came up with a huge singles win at line 3 in round one, 6-1 .Really good rallys and well-placed forehands.That's all we ask of our line 3, is that they beat the oppositions line 3. Birthday girl, Scarlett added another singles set to our score, also defeating the Knights' line 3 in round two. Hailey Klein subbed in round three, also against a sub and pulled out a hard-fought 6-4 victory give the Lions their 5th set. Aerin and Kylie Fraize were the only doubles team to win they were able to sweep 2 sets, but, couldn't defeat the Knights line 2 duo, who were really their strongest team.

Tough Day in Aliso

Aliso Viejo, CA — Our neighbor to the west of us was not too neighborly today, muscleing out 15 sets to our 3.

JSerra 11 - 7 El Toro, win :)

Lake Forest, CA — Most of our normal starters played once today, giving others a chance to play a bit more before opening Trinity League play next week vs Orange Lutheran. Thank you parent drivers for helping out, we were able to take 15 players and get all of them into the match.

Rod Stewart...." ...... "

Laguna Beach, CA — This score was a total surprise to all of us, definitely not the same team we faced last year. Their coach did a great job of rebuilding / bringing former players back in to the fold.
