WINTER 2008-2009

Although our winter athletes endured a somewhat tough season, all teams gave it their all and enjoyed themselves.  Beginning with basketball, the Royals placed 5th in the Trinity League while the JV and F/S teams finished in the 4th spot.  For her efforts on the court, senior Danielle Ekno was named to the Trinity League’s First Team while her junior teammate Emily McCoy was named to the Second Team.  Outstanding leadership was shown by senior leader Kelly Jones, who captained a talented group of athletes including freshmen and sophomores on varsity. 

The soccer team also endured a tough season in the Trinity League.  Both the Varsity and JV teams ended in 5th place.  Senior captain Christina Wald made the Trinity League’s First Team for her outstanding performance.  Wald played nearly every position on the field for the Royals while battling ankle and back injuries.  Wald’s teammate, junior Lauren Olvera, was named to the league’s Second Team for her impressive contribution.

Once again, the water polo teams enjoyed the most success of our winter season.  The Varsity team finished Trinity League play in the 2nd spot and advanced to CIF; JV ended in the 3rd spot; and our F/S team tied for the league championship. The league honored sophomore Hannah Croghan with the prestigious MVP award while Croghan’s sister Katie was honored with a First Team selection.  Senior Katelyn Solis was also honored with a First Team honor.  In addition, Katie Rigler, Krystle Morgan, and Mary Doherty were named to the Second Team.  Hannah Croghan also earned 2nd Team All-CIF honors while her teammate Katelyn Solis earned 3rd Team All-CIF honors.
