There haven't been any upsets this week, but it's still early and there are several good games going on around the county today.

The Hawks dominated singles action winning seven of nine sets with Jocelyn Lu, who is 49-2 overall, leading the charge (7-5, 6-1, 6-1).
The Sea Kings' two singles victories were by freshman Katelyn Nguyen, which included a 6-1 payback win over Arianna Mokhtara – who had defeated her 7-6 earlier in the season.

Dana Hills' top doubles team, Victoria Wing/Leyla Simmons, swept their sets. Megan Miller/Kyra Scott won two of three sets to round out the scoring for the starters.
No. 4 Valencia (12-1) defeated Cypress, score unknown
The Tigers have moved up to the No. 1 spot in the CIF-SS Division III coaches' poll.
Valencia remains unbeaten in the Empire League with a 7-0 record.
"We've been fortunate to be able to rest some of our players and get all seven of our non-starters into matches," Valencia coach Michael McCall said.
No. 5 St. Margaret’s (13-0) defeated Capo Valley, 17-1.
Capo Valley only showed up with three singles players.
Earlier in the week the Cougars defeated Tesoro, 12-6. Capo Valley's singles lineup was the difference in this match, winning eight of the nine sets.

No. 8 Laguna Beach (15-4) defeated Mater Dei, 12-6
The Breakers' strength this season has been their singles lineup and they didn’t disappoint again the Monarchs.
Maddie Jaeger (6-1, 6-1, 6-0) was the only player to sweep her sets.
But Haley Moss (3-6, 6-0, 6-0) and Claire Jaeger (6-7, 6-1, 6-2) managed to win two of their three sets.
A strong showing by Lauren Michaels/Lauren Mendoza (2-6, 6-4, 7-5) and Mckenna Nokes/Alison Azera (0-6, 6-4, 6-0) helped finish off Mater Dei.
Laguna Beach coach Jimmy Gleeson had to find the right doubles partners as none of them had played together. Gleeson's instinct proved successful as the doubles won 5 of 9 matches with one of the losses being a default.
Laguna Beach then wrapped up at least a share of the Orange Coast title with a 17-1 win over Calvary Chapel. The Breakers have won three straight league titles.
