The girls water polo team lost two heartbreaking matches last week as they fell to Monta Vista 6-7, then to Fremont 2-3. This week, the Eagles travel to Monta Vista on Monday, host Wilcox on Tuesday and travel to Santa Clara on Thursday.

Volleyball

Last week, the volleyball team lost to Sacred Heart Prep in three games with Lauren Napier, grade 12, leading the Eagles with 11 kills. Later in the week, the Eagles defeated Notre Dame San Jose in four games behind 16 kills from Napier. This week, the girls travel to Mercy Burlingame on Tuesday, Notre Dame Belmont on Thursday and the ND Belmont Tournament over the weekend.

On Friday, the football team will celebrate its seniors during the Senior Night festivities and then host Lindhurst High School in hopes of staying undefeated on the season.

Cross Country

This Thursday, the cross country team competes in the second WBAL meet, this time at Baylands Park. Then, on Saturday, the Eagles run in the Soquel Invitational.

Go Eagles!
