Girls Tennis:
The San Dimas High School girls tennis program has already made history.
When the Saints defeated La Quinta of Westminster, 12-6, in the semifinal round of the CIF-SS Division 4 playoffs, they earned the first title-match appearance in school history.
But they’re not content with just getting there.
SDHS will face off with Long Beach Poly on Friday at the Claremont Club at 1:30.
The Jackrabbits earned their spot with an 11-7 victory over the Geffen Academy.
But back to Wednesday.
The San Dimas singles players went a combined 8-1.
At No. 1, Natalie Arana, cruised with match victories of 6-0, 6-0 and 6-0.
Lexis Hsieh also went 3-0 at No. 2 singles, and did so by scores of 7-5, 6-4 and 6-2.
Sophia Cabalfin won two of her three matches, 6-2, 4-6 and 6-1.
But it’s the No. 1 doubles team of Abby Bernhard and Mila Mattson that have been especially clutch.
Bernhard and Mattson are undefeated in both Valle Vista League matches and the CIF-SS playoffs.
On Wednesday, the two sophomores won all three of their matches by scores of 6-0, 6-1, 6-0.
The No. 2 team of Sophia Albasha/Jasmine Brown went 1-2, and their match scores were 7-5, 1-6 and 3-6.

College Baseball: Inland Empire Athletic Conference: Chaffey enters the final two weeks of the 2024 season with a three-game lead over second-place Desert. The Panthers can wrap up a second consecutive IEAC title with a Tuesday win over their visitors from Desert. It would be the first time the Panthers had accomplished that feat in […]
Baseball: Damien bounced back nicely from Friday’s nine-inning loss to Los Osos. The Spartans got a great effort from Andrew Carter in Monday’s 8-0 Baseline League victory over their visitors from Rancho Cucamonga. Carter went five scoreless and hitless innings. He issued one walk and struck out eight RCHS batters. Gage Wiese provided two scoreless […]
Baseball: Bonita did what league champions do. They hung around long enough and found a way to grind out a victory. And such was the case for the Bearcats baseball program in its 2-1 Palomares League victory at Claremont. They missed a couple of opportunities to move runners over, but the bottom line is ‘scoreboard.’ […]

Baseball: One of the area’s best and most compelling leagues is easily the Baseline League. With a pair of three-game series that […]

Maaske allowed one hit and got 10 of her 15 outs via strikeout. Serenity Reyes and Skyler Lee provided one scoreless inning apiece, and Reyes actually struck out the […]
Photos by Gwen Pointer Baseball: It was far closer than they would have preferred, but Charter Oak secured the two-game Valle Vista League sweep of Diamond Ranch. After a 1-0 victory on Wednesday, the Chargers edged the Panthers, 5-4, and they find themselves in sole possession of second place in the VVL standings. Marcus Reese […]
Baseball: West Covina opened its two-game Valle Vista League series with San Dimas in second place. The Bulldogs were 3-1, and they stood just one-game back of the Saints. SDHS, however, claimed victories of 13-1 (five innings) and 12-1 (six innings) to distance themselves from the Bulldogs. Vaughn Coleman earned the win after going five […]
