2018 Rancho Girls Tennis Capsule

RANCHO

League: Class 4A Mountain

Head coach: Peter Cernak, second season

2017 record: 4-11 (2-8 4A Sunrise/ninth)

Returning letter winners: Four

Top athletes: Anakaren Martinez (Sr.), Azana West (Sr.), Lorena DelaTorre (Sr.), Liz Parra (Jr.)

Outlook: The Rams return four letter winners from a team that narrowly missed out on a postseason berth.

“The team is looking forward to improving on its record from last year,” Cernak said. “These girls have been hard at work over the summer, waking up at 6 a.m. to practice before the heat.

“Their hard work and determination will pay dividends during the season as they will see improvements in their tennis play.”
