FALL 2008

This fall, the tennis team enjoyed a third place finish in the Trinity League. Seniors Jen and Liz Buchanan, along with sophomore Lily Chapin, participated in the league individual finals. Jen played brilliantly to finish 3rd in league, while Liz and Lily each made the top 8. Senior Christina Buchanan and sophomore Alex Collell played doubles in the league tournament, where they finished 4th. Overall, the team advanced to CIF but lost in the first round of the playoffs.

The golf team also finished in 3rd place, but more impressive was a top 10 finish in the CIF Regionals. Five of the team’s top seven golfers are underclassmen, including sophomore Lloyd Hoyle, who was selected team MVP. Six varsity golfers medaled this year, meaning that each was the low-scorer in a match. Such widespread talent bodes well for the future of the program.

Cross Country finished 5th in league, but was buoyed by several outstanding individual finishes. The team MVP was senior Juliana Calabrese, while the outstanding runner of each class was junior Brigid Becerra, sophomore Kristin Meily, and freshman Emily Peterson. Senior Michelle Hanson was the recipient of CIF’s Pursuing Victory with Honor Award.

Volleyball enjoyed many epic matches this year, none more thrilling than the come-from-behind home victory over Mater Dei. Ranked in the OC Top 10 and involved in the league title hunt until the final week, the Royals eventually finished 3rd and advanced to the CIF quarterfinals. Leading the squad again was All-County and All-CIF outside hitter Nicole Favreau, who will play for UC Santa Barbara next year. Besides a talented group of departing seniors, Rosary will bid adieu to Coach Mike Talamantes after five eventful years.
