The Mira Costa girls tennis team packed their bags and hit the road Oct. 11 against Peninsula High School for the third Bay League game of the season. The girls suffered their worst loss of the year, dropping their overall record to 7-5-1 and their Bay League record dropping to 1-2. The Mustangs lost by a final score of 16-2.
“We need to improve on our accuracy for our volleys and our consistency,” junior Carly McGuire said. “We’ve had some issues maintaining focus, but overall I think we’ve been working really hard.”
Costa was being shut out for most of the match until the last two sets, in which doubles pairs McGuire and junior Alex Waller as well as sophomore Sydney Ascher and freshman Mai Nojima were able to win for Costa by scores of 6-3 and 7-6, respectively.
Costa looked to bounce back in the next match against rival Redondo on yesterday at home. Due to time of publication, however, scores were not available.
“We’re going to work on a lot of reactions on volleys, serves, and returns,” McGuire said.
