DESERT PINES

Head coach: Armando Becerra, first season

2013 record: 9-6-1 (9-2-1 Sunrise, second)

Returning letter winners (starters): Nine (eight)

Top athletes: F Mariyah Espinoza (Sr.), F Jeanna Marin (Sr.), MF Genessis Martinez (Sr.), D Yadira Zavala (Jr.), GK Martha Gandarilla (Jr.), D Alejandra Contreras (Jr.)

Outlook: Martinez (13 goals, five assists), Marin (10 goals, one assist) and Espinoza (nine goals, four assists) all return and give the Jaguars plenty of offensive options.

Gandarilla posted six shutouts last year.

“The team looks to build from last season and looks for the first playoff win in the program’s history,” Becerra said. “The team looks to be strong in the league and push deep into the late stages of the playoffs.”
