Cate girls tennis turned in an impressive performance at the Tri-Valley League Individuals on Thursday, with all six Rams earning first-team all-league honors.
The singles championship was between two Cate players, as senior Alyna Takahashi faced off against freshman Lisa Hasebe.
In a back-and-forth battle, the freshman Hasebe got the best of Takahashi and won the singles crown, 7-4, 6-4.
In doubles play, the Cate pairing of Colette Chang and Reyna Takahashi fell to the defending league champions in two sets.
On the other court, the duo of Sophie Alijani and Frances Davis also dropped their matchup in two sets, 6-3, 6-3. However, Alijani and Davis bounced back with a third-place match victory in an impressive showing, 6-2, 6-1.
Cate will begin its CIF Division 3 playoff run on Nov. 1.
Santa Ynez 6, Templeton 3
The Pirates continued to roll with a 6-3 win over Templeton in Round 2 of the CIF-CS Playoffs.
Santa Ynez nearly swept all of singles play, picking up five of the six matchups as Morea Naretto, Natalie O’Shaughnessy, Kate Mazza, Danielle Hyland and Grace Sugich all won in two sets.
In doubles play, the Pirates managed just one win but that was enough to help lead the team to the second-round win.
The duo of Mazza and Cloe Christianson came away with a win in two sets, 7-5, 6-2.
