Tennis
The Tartans pulled out a victory in total games 9-9 (76-65) against Crean Lutheran at Saddleback College Thursday afternoon. With the win, St. Margaret's improves to 4-1 on the year.
St. Margaret's was led by its singles play, sweeping the Saints in nine sets. Kate Purpura, Angela Liu and Grace Nolet all recorded wins for the Tartans.
“It was an exciting, hard-fought match yesterday. I always talk about each game being important no matter the set score, and the girls did a great job competing and trying to scrap out any game they could. That ended up being the difference as we tied 9-9 but won on total games," said head coach Scott Lipsky. "It was a good test for us as we jump back into league play next week with two matches."
Volleyball
Coming off of a successful showing at the Dave Mohs Memorial Tournament last weekend, St. Margaret's relished a 3-0 sweep of hosts Sage Hill School in girls volleyball league action Thursday night.
The Tartans relied on an efficient middle attack, notching 10 kills on 13 attempts with zero errors. A balanced effort powered St. Margaret's through three sets to post the win.
