After an unprecedented, undefeated season (15-0), the girls advanced to the final round and concluded the CIF Tournament as runners up after a hard-fought match against the California Academy of Math and Science. Based on their tremendous play throughout the season, seniors Olivia D. ‘24, Milla C. ‘24, and Lucinda R. ‘24 all earned spots on the All CIF Team. “While this team is full of hard-working athletes who have put in the effort to reap the rewards, what is even more impressive is the heart and care they have for one another and the positive team culture they’ve created,” said Athletics Director Billy DuMone. “It’s a special group and they deserve what they have earned.”
