This past week the girls went up against East and Jefferson before a close to their season. The match against East has always been a tough one and this year was no different. The girls could not pull off a win, loosing with a score of 6-1. “East has always been our biggest rival.  This year we didn’t do that great going up against them, but I hope next year we can pull together and try to win,” said Junior Becca Hansen.

The very next day another match was scheduled against Jefferson High School; this was the first time that this school has been in the DPS region and the girls were excited for the new competition. The team pulled through with a win 6-1. “It was nice playing someone new; we had a great time and now we are ready for regionals,” said Senior Catherine Ramirez.

As the season comes to a close the Varsity girls are spending a week preparing for regionals, which are scheduled to take place at Colorado Academy on May 4th.  “This has been a tough season for the girls; we had some good opponents that we played, but the girls tried their best,” said Head Coach Tim Cueva. “But now it’s time to gear up for regionals, which will be some of the toughest matches that the girls will have to play.”
