SPRING SPORTS ROUNDUP
BOYS VOLLEYBALL
It was a banner year for boys volleyball as the Owls made their first-ever trip
to the CIF Finals! Seniors Pierce O’Donnell ’16 and Philip Fauntleroy ’16
(both of whom received All CIF Division V volleyball honors), along with senior
Chris Costantino ’16, led the way for the team as they made program history
this spring. The Owls, undefeated in Merovick Gymnasium, played their best
volleyball when it mattered most. A 3-0 semifinal sweep of visiting El Rancho in
front of a boisterous home crowd set up the squad’s first-ever trip to the finals.
Congratulations, boys!
The girls sand volleyball team “killed it” this season, competing mainly against
public schools from Santa Barbara and Ventura. Partners Laurel Kujan ’18 and
Maddy Nicolson ’17 played at a high level all year long, while Kelly Bickett ’18
and Sophia Fay ’18 also played key roles for this year’s squad.
GIRLS SAND VOLLEYBALL
It was all aces for the boys tennis team, led by seniors Philip Hicks ’16 and
Atty Roddick ’16, who finished with a 12-4 record and were nearly perfect on
our home tennis courts. As a freelance team, the squad barely missed out on a
Division IV playoff berth, but with a number of young players, including Andrew
Tolles ’19 and Alex Furukawa ’18, the boys will be primed and ready to go
next spring.
The lacrosse team played their toughest schedule to date, with home and away
games against a number of public schools. Seniors Christian Fowler ’16,
Chandler Aubery ’16, John Puzder ’16, and Robert Estrada ’16 led the way
for the Owls and established a strong foundation for this fast-growing sport.
