Girls’ Water Polo Senior Night

by

Varsity huddles up to encourage one another before their last game of the season.

During the last game of the season, girls’ varsity water polo players cheered on their only senior varsity member at their annual senior night. As a time-honored tradition, the varsity seniors were congratulated for their sportsmanship and teamwork. This year, Meghan Rafael was the only senior on varsity and was honored by coaches, parents, and teammates before the last home game begun. “What made Senior Night so special was the poster all the girls signed for me. Their quotes made me feel super loved and I will truly miss them all! Water polo has been such a great experience and I’m so sad to see it end.” said Rafael.

Following senior night we played in one of the best games of the year. Water polo is a game of determination, hard-work, and teamwork; three perks that our Lady Titans proved to be vital in the game against the Laguna Hills Hawks. Throughout the entire game, Goalie sophomore Amy Jenson put the team on her back and dominated the cage. Sophomore Emma Peterson scored three goals against the Hawks, and all the girls did a tremendous job by working together. Sadly, the Hawks won in a very close game of 10 to 14. We wrapped up the season last night and we will get them during swim season!

Girls’ Water Polo is in season and they would love some fans in the stands for support! Last night they destroyed Capo with the final score of 12-6. The goalie blocked shots, and the field players scored goals. The ladies came together and worked as a unit, which allowed them to keep their lead and crush the cougars. Please come out and support your lady Titan water polo team at their next game, Tuesday at Aliso Niguel High School and Wednesday at home.

Tesoro Junior Varsity Volleyball girls practice good sportsmanship by congratulating Mission Viejo for their efforts on the court after their defeat.

At home, Tesoro Girls’ Volleyball lost to Mission Viejo on Tuesday, October 19. The Junior Varsity girls’ score was   0-2. 

 “The JV girls worked really hard against Mission and it’s a shame they couldn’t pull through to win,” junior Laura Liegler commented.

Her sister, sophomore Lindsay Liegler also added, “I’m so mad we lost Mission! We’ll get them next year.”

The varsity game was very close with a score of 2-3.  Varsity volleyball senior Carly Bates said, “We played hard and pushed ourselves but didn’t quite make it. Fortunately, we redeemed ourselves against Laguna Hills on Thursday.”

Tesoro’s Girls Cross Country dominated at the Dana Hills Invitational on Saturday, October 2. The Titan girls proved to be victorious, achieving the highest scores at the meet.

Sophomore Stephanie Lapidus sprinted her way towards having the best time out of the other runners. She was the fastest girl to complete the 3-mile run with a time of 17:12 and came in second for overall time in the meet.

Lapidus’ success in the Division I Sophomore Race did not go unnoticed. Local newspaper the Orange County Register named her as one of the Athletes of the Week for the week of September 27. On her acknowledgment she said, “Dana Hills’ Invitational was a huge accomplishment for me as well as a personal best.  My effort earned me Athlete of the Week in the OC Register and I will always cherish that as a highlight in my running career.”

Three other Tesoro Cross Country girls, freshman Erica Liem, sophomore Emily Scharmann and senior Nicole Corbin, broke Megan Meyer’s record time of 17:45 from 2006.

Liem proudly stated, “I am just so honored to be on the Tesoro cross country team!”

The girls finished the meet with the fastest overall team time, and the prize of knowing that they ranked second in the county.
