Girls Tennis:
Thanks to Maranatha for this report

Under new coaching leadership, the Falcons are in the midst of re-establishing a once proud program that has been down in recent years.
Maranatha was far too strong for the Falcons, recording 16 consecutive wins before substituting their alternates in singles.
Singles:
#1: Natalie Arminak – 6-0, 6-0; alt. Doria Chen – 2-6
#2: Grace Yang – 6-1, 6-0; alt. Madison White – 5-7

After starting the year playing Division 5 & 6 opponents, the 4-0 Lady Minutemen enter the lion’s den next week, facing two formidable D3 opponents – defending CIF-SS D4 champion, Mark Keppel, on Monday and South Pasadena on Thursday.
