The Los Osos girls tennis team is all set to take on Aliso Niguel in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 playoffs. Last year, they made it to the championship but fell short of the title. This time, they’re determined to change that. With a record of 15-0, Los Osos is eager to claim their first section title. The match is scheduled for Friday at 12:30 p.m. at the Pomona-Pitzer courts in Claremont. The team’s senior No. 1 singles player, Shukan Parikh, is thrilled for another shot at the CIF championship. Coach Gilbert Delgadillo is confident that the team’s experience from last year will work in their favor. He believes that the nerves will be there, but it’s all about how they handle it. Parikh also feels that the experience from last year will give them an edge. The team is familiar with their opponent, Aliso Niguel, having defeated them in the semifinals last year. Delgadillo emphasizes the importance of execution and timing in the upcoming match. Los Osos secured their spot in the final with an 11-7 victory over King. Despite windy conditions, the team managed to maintain their advantage. The doubles team of Jessica Dong and Makayla Vo delivered an impressive performance, winning all three sets. The Division 6 final will see Liberty and Woodcrest Christian competing for the championship. Both teams are aiming for their first section title. Liberty, with a record of 19-2, claimed the Mountain Pass League championship and secured the No. 1 seed. Woodcrest Christian, with a record of 14-4-1, earned the No. 2 seed after a share of the Ambassador League championship. They are both determined to make history in the upcoming final.
