LANCER ATHLETICS

GIRLS TENNIS WINS

During an unprecedented season, made more challenging by the pandemic, the girls tennis team proved they have what it takes to bring home the title. In their final win of the season, the Lancers knocked off Patriot 12-6 to take home the CIF Southern Section’s Division 5 championship. This is the first section title for the team.

Tracey Gibbs ’21 and Audrey Turner ’23 extended their perfect season by sweeping their doubles sets 6-2, 6-1, 6-4. Sydney Sasaki ’23 swept at No. 1 singles, posting scores of 6-0, 6-0, 6-1. Cayenne Lee ’24 gave the Lancers a third sweep, this one at No. 2 singles, winning her sets 6-4, 6-0, 6-0. La Salle (17-0) and Patriot (19-1) each scored three points after the first rotation, but La Salle dominated the second rotation and surged to an 8-4 lead. Sasaki picked up the ninth point in the final rotation, and Gibbs and Turner got the Lancers to the magic number of 10.

“The girls took care of business out there,” said La Salle coach Piya Moranon.
