Coaches' Notes

"Today was probably the most wind we have seen at Great Park in Irvine and it was an awesome test of our ball control!
 
The girls did an amazing job battling through the adversity, serving tough and siding out well.
 
Marine played a really flawless game today. She made it look easy and more importantly she helped her partner find success each step of the way. 
 
With a double header tomorrow we are focused on "not hitting the panic or the snooze button".
 
Mindset and emotions play a critical role in our sport and we are looking to master it."
 
Westcliff will go up to face off against Golden West College and Ventura College tomorrow
