NEWPORT BEACH There’s plenty of season remaining, and a number of lofty aspirations floating around the team and some of its players, but expectations should be high for Corona del Mar’s girls tennis squad after the week-and-a-half it just powered through.

Over the past 10 days, the Sea Kings knocked off previously top-ranked team in CIF-SS Division 1, Peninsula, Orange County’s fifth-ranked team, San Clemente, and a Beckman squad ranked second in Division 2.

The Sea Kings added a dominant win over perennial power University on Thursday to that already-impressive resume.

With Jasie Dunk and Danielle Willson each sweeping on the singles side, and Roxanne Mackenzie notching two additional points, top-ranked CdM rode its powerful trio to a 13-5 victory over No. 2 University in a Pacific Coast League showdown.

The Sea Kings improved to 10-0 overall and 3-0 in league play. Maybe more importantly, they solidified their new No. 1 ranking in the latest CIF-SS Division 1 poll.

“(University) has always been the big competitor,” senior Camellia Edalat said. “We did beat them last year, but beating them again today solidifies how great of a team we are this year.”

It only took a matter of minutes Thursday for CdM to race out to a lead on all six courts. Willson and Dunk each made quick work of their first-round opponents, while Mackenzie added a 7-5 win in the No. 1 singles spot.

Shaya Northrup and doubles partner Izzy Dajee pulled out a tight 7-5 set in the opening round, and the Bella McKinneyEmily Freyman duo followed with a 6-4 result, putting CdM up, 5-0.

For the Trojans (5-2, 2-1), their top doubles pair of Kayla Agustin and Ashlyn Wang salvaged University’s only point in the first round with a 7-6 tiebreaker. That duo also accounted for the team’s one point in the second round, as the Trojans trailed 10-2 headed into the third.

“Singles, we went up early, looked good on all the courts, and doubles were super close with a lot of back-and-forth,” Sea Kings coach Jamie Gresh said. “There’s so many swings of momentum in doubles, I was happy to come away with a 5-1 lead. I just felt our level of play was really high after that, and the girls were playing with a lot of confidence.”

Nine sets were determined by two games or less. Corona del Mar went 6-3 in those encounters.
