2013 Desert Pines Girls Tennis Capsule

 

 

DESERT PINES

Head coach: Jan Van Tuyl, third season

 

2012 record: 11-6 (10-2 I-A Sunrise, second)

 

Returning letter winners: Three

 

Top players: Ashley Palacios (So.), Cecilia Garcia Leon (So.), Jasmine Chamberlain (Sr.)

 

Outlook: The Jaguars lost a senior class that helped the program build from forfeiting most matches to finishing one game out of first place last season.

 

Two other players who would have returned, moved.

 

Still, Desert Pines welcomes back Palacios, who went 52-2 in doubles sets, and Garcia Leon, who was 36-18 in singles sets last year.

 

“Unfortunately, we have a very transient group who move frequently,” Van Tuyl said. “Of eight players out, five have no playing experience, except for the last six weeks of learning. I’ll be pleased with whatever we get.”
