12/3/07   Drzymkowski, Zampas, and Ruiz Receive All-League Honors
At this evening's Tennis Awards, it was announced that senior Kristina Drzymkowski and sophomore Katina Zampas had been voted by the League's coaches to the All Academy League First Team.  Senior Capri Ruiz earned Second Team honors.  Both Kristina and Katina finished this season with 49 wins and both were named MVP.  Kristina completed her 4 years with 159 wins, establishing the career school record. At one point during this season, Katina set a new school record with 24 consecutive wins.  Other honorees:  sophomore Taylor LaFrance was voted Most Improved;  junior Michelle Sharp won the Best Christian Character.  Our four seniors, captain Elizabeth Sherwood, Kristina Drzymkowski, Chloe Manasse, and Capri Ruiz shared memories and personal insights.  The ' 07 Lady Eagles finished the season with an overall record of 7-10 against some very tough competition.

11/5/07   Drzymkowski / Zampas Qualify For CIF Sectionals

10/30/07   Eagles Upset 3rd Place Oxford 10-8
Audrey Montes and partner Mary Stoecker rallied to win 7-5 in a nail-biting finish at the Saddleback College courts.  Just a few minutes earlier, Chloe Manasse and partner Capri Ruiz completed a doubles sweep by coming back from an 0-4 deficit to win 6-4, denying the Patriots the 10th set, keeping the Eagles chances of an upset alive, and setting the stage for the final winner-take-all improbable heroics by Montes and Stoecker.  Earlier in singles action, Katina Zampas and Kristina Drzymkowski each won 3 points for the Eagles.  The match was played after more than a week off due to the bad air from the wildfires.

10/27/07   Sherwood Crowned Homecoming Queen, Continues Tradition
	For the 3rd year in a row, a girls tennis team member (Elizabeth Sherwood) is so honored.  Queen Elizabeth continues the streak which began with Queen Ji Won Park and, last season, Queen Joy Lee.  So it seems it might not be such a bad idea to play a few years for the Lady Eagles' tennis team.

10/19/07  Zampas' Close Match Against BC's #1 Secures Eagles Victory
Although sophomore Katina Zampas' 5-7 loss to Brethren Christian's Kelsey Costales(top 100 in USTA rankings) ended her tremendous consecutive win streak at 24 straight,  the 5 games were crucial to the Eagles victory as the two schools battled to a 9-9 tie in sets but CVCS won the match by just one game 68-67.  The Eagles were playing with only seven players, and therefore began the match behind by 3 sets(or 18 games).  A calculated gamble by the Eagles paid off.  Anticipating a lineup shuffle by BC, Chloe Manasse was moved to singles and responded with two wins.  Kristina Drzymkowski and Katina Zampas each won two in singles as well.  Audrey Montes teamed up with Mary Stoecker to capture two sets, and the team of Elizabeth Sherwood / Taylor LaFrance won the final set.  Zampas' win streak over the last three weeks sets a new school record.

10/8/07  Eagles Defeat Calvary Chapel(S.A.)
