Girls Athletes of the Week:

La Salle earned a pair of CIF-SS Division 3 team victories on Wednesday and Friday.

The Lancers defeated Flintridge Prep in Wednesday’s first-round match.

LSHS and Prep tied 9-9, but the Lancers advanced thanks to a 76-66 advantage in games.

On Friday, La Salle edged Rowland, 10-8, to earn a spot in Monday’s quarterfinal round.

Sydney Sasaki, the Del Rey League singles champ, was nothing short of amazing.

Sasaki won all six of her matches against the Wolves and Raiders.

And she did so by scores of 6-0 in each set.

Andrea Velandia and Daniella Romero placed third at the Del Rey League finals in doubles.

On Wednesday, Velandia and Romero swept their Flintridge Prep opponents by scores of 6-4, 6-1 and 6-1.

In the 10-8 victory over Rowland, the senior duo were down 0-5 and rallied to win that match 7-5.

It was not only Velandia and Romero’s lone win, it was the only Lancers victory in doubles.

But that 7-5 conquest was enough to send the Lady Lancers to the quarterfinal round.

Up next: La Salle will battle Northwood on Monday.
