\n\t“It’s been a good season,” Pacifica head coach Hoang Le said. “We are learning how to win.”<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mariners improved to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in league play with the victory. They won most of their points in doubles action, accumulating 7 of 9 sets.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tThough the Mariners struggled in singles play, their No. 1 player impressed with another outstanding effort. Freshman Irene Le, 14, swept the competition to remain unbeaten this year. She topped No. 1 Tiffany Nguyen and No. 2 Claudia Nguyen with 6-3, 6-2 victories. The Mariners then needed three points to clinch during the third round, and Le earned the game-winning set with a 6-1 triumph against No. 3 Jacky Perez.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tLe’s effort improved her season record to 12-0. She trains at the El Camino Real Tennis Center, where she practices with coach Robert Manuel.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\t“Everything was working today,” Le said. “My forehand, and my serve, were probably the strongest, lough.”<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tTwo of the Mariners doubles teams captured all three sets. This included the No. 1 tandem of Brittany Tran-Emily Kim (6-3, 6-3, 6-1) as well as No. 2 Christine Chan and Tiffany Le (6-3, 2-6-2,6e-2).<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tPacifica fell to Kennedy, 10-8, in its league opener. It returned to action against Garden Grove High on Tuesday, Sept. 4 (no not available) and will face Valencia on Thursday, Sept. 26. That contest will take place on the road at 3 p.m.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\t“We play in a very tough league,” said Le, who cited Yorba Linda High as the favorite to capture the league championship.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
