<p>Santamaria and Lee blitzed the Smith sisters.</p>
<p><span id="more-76957"></span>Santamaria won 6-1 and Lee won 6-2.</p>
<p>Campbell Hall also won two of three doubles, including a clutch victory at No. 2 doubles, 6-4. That was the key set of the first round. Dana Hills needed that set bad, and that is going to hurt later.</p>
<p>The Vikings are up 4-2.</p>
<p>Campbell Hall is the home team, so its players will rotate up.</p>
<p>You never know how it's going to go, but the Dolphins appear in trouble early.</p>
<p>The matchups seem to favor Campbell Hall this round, and it's possible the Vikings could put together another 4-2 round. That would make Round 3 all but meaningless.</p>
<p>Unless the Dolphins can stage a rally, it's looking like a new Division I champion will be crowned today.</p>

<p>Dana Hills leads CdM 7-5</p>
<p><span id="more-76355"></span>CdM had its chance to even the match, but Victoria Wing found a way to beat Hailey Hogan, 7-5. Wing trailed 4-5 with Hogan serving for the set.</p>
<p>As it stands, the match looks good for Dana Hills.</p>
<p>Alyssa Smith, who lost Melissa Matsuoka 7-5, is playing CdM's No. 3 singles player. That also means DH"s No. 2 doubles team in playing CdM's No.  3 team. That would figure to be 9 games for Dana Hills, which has more games at this point. Plus, Joanna Smith would seem to be the favorite to beat Hogan, and that would 10 sets.</p>
<p>Dana Hills' victory at No. 2 doubles in the opening round is proving huge. That round could have been 3-3. Combine that with the fact CdM had a chance to win Round 2, 4-2, and it's the Sea Kings who could be leading 7-5 heading into Round 3. It's that close out here.</p>

<p>That was a giant win, swinging the match from being even to having Dana Hills lead 4-2.</p>
<p>Corona del Mar rallied at No. 1 doubles, winning the final three games and the set 6-4.</p>
<p>Hailey Hogan went up early on Alyssa Smith at No. 2 singles, but the Dolphins freshman came back and won, 6-4.</p>
<p>At this point, it seems like the most CdM can hope for in singles is 2 sets. That would mean the Sea Kings need five of the final six doubles sets, but would probably be short on games.</p>
<p>Advantage Dana Hills right now.</p>

<p><span id="more-76319"></span>Here are the team's lineup:</p>
<p><strong>Dana Hills</strong></p>
<p><strong>Singles:</strong> Joanna Smith, Alyssa Smith, Victoria Wing</p>
<p><strong>Doubles: </strong>Cassidy Spearman-Jessica Perez, Rebecca Winkle-Laura Wilke, Katherine Fevery-Kasey Mathess</p>
<p><strong>Corona del Mar</strong></p>
<p><strong>Singles: </strong>Melissa Matsuoka, Hailey Hogan, Nini Ugrelidze</p>
<p><strong>Doubles: </strong>Kelli Feeley-Azadeh Nazemi, Katelyn Nguyen-Kalika Slevcove, Kenzie Ludlow-Alison Ishii</p>
<p><strong>Thoughts:</strong> That's the lineup Dana Hills has used most of this season, and I'm not surprised to see it for this match. Why change it, right? CdM, on the other hand, had decisions to make about its lineup. Possibly playing Hailey Hogan in doubles was one idea, or playing Katelyn Nguyen in singles. However, I think this lineup gives CdM the best shot. I think it's going to be a tight match.</p>
<p>Keep checking for updates throughout the match.</p>

<p><strong>No. 1 Dana Hills (19-0) vs. No. 4 Corona del Mar (21-1)</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-76163"></span><strong>When: </strong>Today, 2 p.m., Laguna Niguel Racquet Club</p>
<p><strong>Dana Hills:</strong></p>
<p><strong>CIF Titles:</strong> 1989, 1997, 2007, 2008</p>

<p><strong>CIF Finals:</strong> 1990, 1994, 2007, 2008</p>
<p><strong>Road to semifinals:</strong> 1st Rnd def. Moorpark 17-1; 2nd Rnd def. Northwood 17-1; qtrs def. CAMS 15-3</p>
<p><strong>Outlook:</strong> Dana Hills and Corona del Mar have accounted for the past three CIF championships, with the Dolphins winning the last two years. The teams usually play a nonleague match but it was rained out this season and wasn't rescheduled. Corona del Mar's only loss this sesaon came to Campbell Hall, 10-8. The Dolphins defeated Campbell Hall, 10-8, earlier this season and are undefeated. Corona del Mar hasn't left its home courts this postseason, but now must play this match on the road at Laguna Niguel Racquet Club, which is a big advantage for Dana Hills. The thing to watch for is how Corona del Mar decides to play its lineup. That is always key in postseason matches. The Dolphins figure to have the edge in singles, but the Sea Kings should have the margin in doubles. It could come down to counting games at the end. Another factor is how the rotation goes. With Dana Hills at home, the Dolphins would figure to have the edge in the final round, when their No. 1s play CdM's No. 2s, and their No. 2s play CdM's No. 3s. Therefore, it would seem more likely for Dana Hills to make up ground than CdM, so it's important for the Sea Kings to start strong.</p>

<p>The county has three teams in the final eight, but not the ones expected.</p>
<p><span id="more-75255"></span>El Modena, Los Alamitos and Esperanza are in the quarterfinals, while higher seeds Newport Harbor and El Dorado are not.</p>
<p>Only El Modena won its league, finishing tied with El Dorado in the Century League. Los Alamitos and Esperanza finished behind Newport Harbor in the Sunset League. Newport lost to Arcadia, 12-6, on Saturday. Los Alamitos upset El Dorado, 10-8, and Esperanza stunned Beverly Hills, winning 77-73 on games.</p>
<p>El Modena, however, pulled the biggest shocker, defeating No. 4 seed Santa Monica, 10-8, on the road. The Vanguards visit Murrieta Valley on Tuesday for a shot at the semifinals. The Aztecs host No. 3 Santa Barbara, and Los Alamitos visits No. 2 Chadwick. ...</p>
<p>Last year, Westminster's girls tennis team lost in the second round of the CIF-SS Division V playoffs by two games and were eliminated. Westminster had no such dramatics Saturday, defeating the Sunbelt's No. 1 team in Elsinore on the road, 11-7. It set up a quarterfinal match against No. 3 Linfield Christian today.

<p><strong>Here are the Orange  County teams in the Pac-5 Division:</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-75161"></span><strong>Edison (10-0)</strong> – The Chargers are the top-seeded team in the division, and have been No. 1 in Orange  County since beating then-No. 1 Servite in Week 4. The Chargers have a very-balanced offense. Quarterback Matt Viles is the No. 2 passer in the count, behind Rancho Alamitos’ Mike Frank, with 2,173 yards. Viles did not play in last week’s 48-0 victory over Marina, a precautionary move because Viles dislocated his non-throwing elbow in the Week 8 victory over Fountain Valley. Wade Houston and Davion Orphey are productive running backs, and Jeff Trojan and Michael Rivera leads the talented . The Chargers are averaging 33 points a game while allowing nine a game. Edison went 5-0 in the Sunset League to win the league championship.</p>
<p><strong>Dana Hills (8-2)</strong> – Dana Hills finished second in the South Coast League with a 4-1 league record. The Dolphins’ league loss was to Mission Viejo, 49-17, which ended a six-game winning streak. Receiver/defensive back Chris Kearney is one of the top two-way players in the county. He has a team-high 51 receptions. Quarterback Josh Dean has completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,536 yards and 14 touchdowns. Dana  Hills is averaging 36 points a game. The Dolphins, ranked No. 4 in Orange County have a challenging first-round assignment, a home game against No. 7 Orange Lutheran, the second-place team from the Trinity League.</p>
<p><strong>Orange Lutheran (6-4)</strong> – The Lancers finished second in the Trinity League. Three of their losses are to very good teams – Pickerington Central of Ohio, which is 10-2; Redlands East  Valley (10-0) and Servite (9-1). Lutheran has battled injuries to key players, like quarterback Bobby Wheatley (shoulder) and running back/linebacker Garrett Gilliland (ankle). Mike Markovsky has played well in Wheatley’s absence, and another offensive bright spot has been running back Damani Wilson (990 yards, eight rushing touchdowns).</p>
<p><strong>Mater Dei (6-4)</strong> – The Monarchs beat St. John Bosco of Bellflower on Friday to finish third in the Trinity League. They play an old foe – Bishop Amat of La Puente, which was a longtime rival of Mater Dei’s in the old Angelus League and later in the Serra League. Mater Dei has lost to good teams like Orange Lutheran, Servite and Edison, and beat Centennial of Corona when Centennial was No. 6 in California. Junior quarterback Max Wittick seems to improve weekly, and Victor Blackwell might be the best receiver in the county (42 catches, 899 yards and 10 touchdowns).</p>
<p><strong>Newport Harbor (6-4)</strong> – Newport Harbor finished in a three-way tie for second place in the Sunset League, with Fountain   Valley and Los Alamitos. Coin flips put Newport as the league’s No. 4 representative so the Sailors needed to qualify as the division’s at-large team, and got it. The Sailors beat Los Alamitos in a league game. Receiver/linebacker Cecil Whiteside, who committed to Cal, was selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Game. Cedric Whitaker has emerged as a fine running back, with 967 yards.</p>
<p><strong>Servite (9-1)</strong> – Servite went 5-0 to win the Trinity League championship, the first time a team has gone undefeated in the league since it was created in 2006. It is the fifth league championship in Coach Troy Thomas’ five years coaching the Friars. Cody Fajardo has been outstanding at quarterback. He is the team’s leading rusher, at 661 yards, and has passed for 1,647 yards and 14 touchdowns. Rudy Guerrero and Chris Nicholls have been big-play receivers, and Nicholls is a threat running the ball, too. Servite averaged 42 points a game in league.</p>
<p><strong>San Clemente (6-4)</strong> – The Tritons finished third in the South Coast League, with a 3-2 league record. They lost to Dana Hills and Mission Viejo in league. San Clemente lost to La  Habra in a nonleague game, but beat two good ones, too, Trabuco Hills and El Toro, in nonleague. Quarterback Chase Rettig has completed 63 percent of his passes for 1,641 yards and 18 touchdowns, but has 11 thrown interceptions, too. Receiver Dominick Ela has 49 catches for 622 yards. The Tritons have given up a lot of points, 26 a game. They have a tough first-round challenge – Servite.</p>
<p><strong>Los Alamitos (8-2)</strong> – The Griffins finished in a three-way tie for second place in the Sunset League. After a coin flip knocked Newport Harbor down to No. 4, Los Alamitos’ victory over Fountain   Valley last week made the Griffins the league’s No. 2 playoff representative. They play Long Beach Poly in the first round Friday at Veterans Stadium in Long Beach; it is Los Al’s home game, but Vets also is Poly’s home field. Griffins running back Nick Richardson has been spectacular. He is averaging 173 yards a game. Quarterback Dylan Lagarde, who transferred during the season from Poly, had a fine game against Fountain Valley last week, going 14 for 21 for 172 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions.</p>
<p><strong>Fountain Valley (8-2)</strong> – The Barons go into the playoffs on a two-game losing streak. They lost to Edison, 24-0, in the “Battle for the Bell” game, then got beat by Los Alamitos, 31-22, last week. Kyle Middlebrooks has been terrific at running back. He is averaging 160 yards a game and has rushed for 18 touchdowns. Ryan Steadman has been a standout at receiver. He has 30 receptions for 536 yards. The Barons gave up an average of 26 points a game in league, but overall have scored 35 points a game.</p>
<p><strong>Mission Viejo (10-0)</strong> – Mission Viejo went 5-0 to win the South Coast League championship. The Diablos have dominated. They averaged 52 points a game in league, while allowing only nine points a game. Their closes game all season was a 19-point nonleague victory over Loyola of Los Angeles. Dallin McEwen has been steady at quarterback, completing 61 percent of his throws for 1,559 yards and 17 touchdowns with only five interceptions. Receiver Joey Branker has 41 receptions and is averaging 24 yards a catch. The Diablos’ outstanding defense is led by linebacker Tre Madden and defensive back Jake Marshall.</p>
