There were some real nail-biters on the courts Thursday, and one match isn't over yet.

Varsity

Mission Prep 10, @ Cabrillo 8 (3-1, 1-0 LPL)
This was a real dandy, but the Conqs came up just short. How close was it ? Cabrillo lost 2 of the 3 tie-breaker sets, both 6-7 (5-7) losses to the Royals #1 duo - sophmore Jenna Dunbar & frosh Sophie Seid. The Conqs took a 4-2 lead in the first round, but dropped 5 of 6 in round 2. So after the second round MP was up 7-5 in sets with games tied at 60 each.

Doubles
Dunbar & Seid also took a 3rd set 6-0, but CHS won 5 of the other 6 sets in the pairs. Elke Peirtsegaele and her sister Nikki won 2 sets (6-1, 6-4), as did Bree Piper-Williams / Ashley Bowman (6-3, 6-4), with Alena Taber / Andriana Siefe taking a 6-3 decision over the MP #3's.

Singles
Singles was a bit rougher road. Ashley Pennewell topped Rachel Ronca 6-2 for a point, and #2 Julie Leyva added the two remaining wins - 7-6 (7-2) over Helena Olivieri and 6-2 over Ally Kersthold.



Lompoc 9 [80] (0-2-1, 0-1-1), @ Morro Bay 9 [80]

The Braves traveled up to "Rock City" and came away with an Incomplete. Through 18 sets & 160 games the teams were even, so CIF requires that they play a round-robin tiebreaker with the 1's versus 1's , etc. . No date has yet been set, but will likely occur next week.

Lompoc scored most of their points in doubles (6-3) with the Pirates scoring in the singles (6-3). Each Lompoc duo scored points - Jessica Cosio / Ashley Branson swept three sets. Korina Esqueda / Azucena Villalobos took two. Megan Hansen swept in singles, and Kirra Meisinger / Jasmissa Yasay accounted for 2 of the Bay's 3 doubles points.


St. Joseph 17, Templeton 1

The Knights (2-0, 4-2) were almost as hot as the 105 degrees temperatures in Templeton. Sweeping for St. Joseph were #1 singles Frankie Eszes, (18-1 in games), and all three doubles pairs - Sammy White / Ellie McPike, Whitney Bouque / Christine Noe, and Paige Jaeckels / Brittany Chartier.

Santa Ynez (5-2 overall) 15, Santa Maria (0-2, 0-4) 3

The Pirates rolled at home as most of the 'starters' only got in a couple of sets. Among those that swept their two chances were singles Alisa Silsbee and Michelle Sackie and pairs Sophie Brandstatter / Sydney Tack, Bianca Cappaso / Kylie Petersen, and Mylee Curtis / Heather Vellekamp. Lupe Garcia won a couple of sets for the Saints.

Tuesday:
Templeton @ Cabrillo
Lompoc @ Santa Ynez

Junior Varsity
Lompoc 9 (77), Morro Bay (70)
This was more about evenly balanced squads than real close sets -although there were some of those too. The Pirates won the singles 5-4 and the Braves took the doubles 5-4.

Singles : 4-5 [32-36]
The difference maker for the Braves was singles #1 Cera Mitchell. She went 3-0 (6-1, 6-0, 6-1), while allowing only 2 games to the Pirates, accounting for 1/3 of the Lompoc points and a plus 16 record in games. Diep Chang posted a 6-4 win in round one for the other tally.

Doubles : 5-4 [45-34]
Those close ones were here - two 5-7 Lompoc losses to Bay #1's Heather Montgomery / Jessica Wagner. The Braves top pair, Karin Martin / Amargiete Larios, bounced back from the 1st round loss to win two sets (6-1, 6-3). Catalina Perez / Sarah Carillo sandwiched 6-1 victories around their 5-7 loss, and Janett Ruiz / Isela Caudillo collected the remaining Lompoc point.

Cabrillo did not have a JV match because Mission Prep's JV was playing Orcutt Academy.

Boys Water Polo

Varsity
at the Lompoc Aquatic Center

Arroyo Grande 16, Cabrillo 8
Arroyo Grande zoomed to 7-1 first quarter lead and spent the rest of the match working on set plays, defensive set-ups and player combinations, while coasting to a 16-8 triumph. The Eagles scored three goals in the first four minutes, two by Kevin Meffert who scored three of his five goals in the first.

Luca Vukamonovic & Ryan Higginbotham each scored three , Eric Marsh hit the back of the net twice and the Eagles also received goals from Casey Higginbotham, Adam Stevens and Dennis Meffert. Tyler Chard's three goals led the Conqs, with Emmett Hill (2), Jake Moyter (2), Tyler Thompson (1) each contributing goals.

Arroyo Grande used a swarming defense to generate counter-attacks and completely smother the Conq 2-meter, and a passing offense that consistantly found the open man - frequently in open water near the goal.

Although in a number of respects the game was not competitive, both coaches got what they wanted. Arroyo Grande coach Steve Allen acknowledged that AG was 'bigger, stronger, faster, better swimmers, and more siuationally aware' than the Conqs was happy to get some actual game time for his crew. They have a lot of practice time, because they train year round, but most of his charges did not get much playing time last year.

Cabrillo's Joel Jory likes to throw his teams in the pool against tough upper division opponents, to get them accostomed to a faster-paced, more physical brand of polo.

The Conqs play at Oxnard on Tuesday before kicking off Los Padres League play against Lompoc next Wednesday.

Junior Varsity
Arroyo Grande 13, Cabrillo 2

Much like the varsity contest, this one was over early. The Eagles scored the first 7 goals en route to an 8-1 halftime advantage, and a 13-2 final. Iann Dunn and Ciscoo Bass each scored 2 in the initail period and 3 overall. Griffin Chanley also had 3 goals, Tim Compton had 2, and four players had 1 apiece. The Conqs goals were scored by Chris Naughton and Kieran Carroll.

The score could have been worse, but Goalie Brian Walterich had a very good 2nd half - stopping a number of high quality shots, including several at almost point-blank range.

Rio Mesa 15, Santa Ynez 2
The Spartans controlled the match, holding the Pirates to just two Adam Parlato fourth quarter goals. William Mann had five savess between the pipes.


Football

Freshman

Lompoc 41, Dos Pueblos 14

Coming into the day this was the only local HS team with a win. They doubled up on Thursday.

Defensive turnovers, an Anthony Gonzales interception and a Niko Hayes score on a fumble recovery, helped keep the Braves in the game. They led the Chargers at the half 14-7.

Lompoc's offensive got rolling in the 2nd half, with the o-line clearing holes for Levon Coleman ( 2 TD's), Niko Hayes, Kiki Andrews and Taylor Cornejo.

St. Joseph 14, Cabrillo 0

The Conqs dropped their LPL opener at home. They stayed close, but never could get on the scoreboard. A problem they have had all season - 3 games & 15 points.
