Coming off of a very successful 2015-2016 cross country season where the team captured the Sunshine League Co-Champions Title, along with moving up to the Mission League for the 2016-2017 year, the Sailors have put in the hard miles, literally, in order to prepare for 2016. Summer 2016 was all about discipline and hard work. Nine Sailors traveled to Mammoth Mountain, California with Coach Lasan and averaged eight miles a day in challenging, thin-air conditions. Following Mammoth, the athletes were primed for tryouts in August 2016 and Coach Lasan was pleased to welcome fifteen returners and seventeen freshmen (a Marymount record!) to one of the largest cross country tryouts to date. This special group shares a cohesive, positive and synergistic energy, which Coach Lasan is excited to see. Along with the motivating energy of the group, the Senior Leadership is stepping up their efforts to help guide and demonstrate what it takes to be part of a successful program. Returning Assistant Coach Andres and Head Coach Lasan’s goal for the 2016 fall season is for the team to make it all the way to CIF Finals. Good luck and go Sailors!
New Head Coach, Trent Nishiyama and new Assistant Coach, Joe Hayes have already brought a new structure to Marymount Golf.

The athletes began each day on the putting greens with drills, followed by team competitive putting games and then chipping par saving drills. The athletes finished the day on the driving range learning how to swing like a Tour Pro! After the success of the summer camp, the golfers were ready for the challenge of tryouts. The athletes sustained two days of intense drills but came through with flying colors and a lot of team encouragement, motivating one another to play their best. As the season looms, Coach Nishiyama and Coach Hayes will strive to rebuild and create a winning team. Their goal is for the athletes to reflect back on the season and feel they had an incredible, unforgettable experience.
Tennis: Putting in the preseason work bodes well for Sailor Tennis
The work on the court started long before the season, with countless hours of summer preseason practices led by new Coach Andoni Gracia.

On the JV team, Lauren O'Brien sealed a huge win in the 200 free relay. Despite losing to a couple of teams as of late, the Sailors are learning and improving with each competition.
The Sailors had a strong showing on Thursday but it was not enough in the 5-1 loss to Beverly Hills. Cassidy Capata's third-inning RBI single scored Kate Wegleitner, which gave our Sailors an early one run led. Natalie Elliott's strong pitching performance in her first complete game of the season frustrated the Beverly Hills lineup. With a strong defensive showing, the Sailors held Beverly Hills to no runs until the bottom of the fifth inning when Beverly Hills roared back to steal a 5-1 victory over the Sailors.
The Sailors sealed 11 1st-place finishes in various events against the Harvard-Westlake Wolverines at yesterday's meet. Marymount was ready to compete and it showed in their performance.

Way to go Sailors!
Marymount had an incredible offensive explosion in Thursday's game against Lennox Academy. It was quite for the first 3 innings of the game until Nora Kilroy hit the first grand slam of the season followed by a three run home run by Genna Whittell and then another two run homer by Nora again. The Sailors scored 18 of their 22 runs in the last 4 innings of the game. Thursday's final score was Sailors 22 Lennox Academy 8. Go Sailors!
The Marymount Sailors showed a lot of promise and skill in the season opener against Brentwood. Despite the loss to the Brentwood Eagles, 6 -16, the Sailors demonstrated their depth and knowledgeable foundation of the game. The coaching staff is excited for what is in store for the Sailors.
Marymount burst out of the blocks in their first track invitational last weekend. The Sailors racked up four 1st place finishes spanning four separate events at the Culver City Invitationals.
The Sailors kicked off the season with a scrimmage against Mira Costa. It was a good measuring barometer for the Sailors to test their strengths and pinpoint opportunities for improvements. The 1st team of Devon Newberry and Charlie Robinson battled it out in the third set versing two beach volleyball specialists from Costa. Marymount fought hard, but came up a bit short losing 20-18. Despite the loss, it was an extremely exciting match and the team was able to showcase their potential.

The Sailors run for a championship came up short in the quarterfinals against a very strong Lompoc team. The Sailors had a great first half with balanced scoring and solid defense. However, the second half proved to be too much for the Sailors to overcome. Foul trouble, scoring issues and a hot shooting night by the Lompoc Braves ended their run. The Sailors had an incredible season, securing the title of Sunshine League Champions and the #1 seed in the playoffs, both of which were firsts for the Marymount Basketball Program. The team finished with a great 19-6 record overall, with signature wins against formidable opponents all season long.

Friendships were formed that will last a lifetime and the athletes all went out like champions with class.

The Sailors were very excited to come and compete given that the team had been plagued with injuries and illness over the past couple of weeks. It was a team effort that pushed the Sailors to victory over IHHS 33-20, with most of the team sharing offensive opportunities and good ball movement throughout the court. Marymount also protected the basket with solid and fierce defense in the back court creating several turnovers, which the team was able to capitalize on. Coach Jameia looks forward to JV Basketball finishing the second half of the season strong! Go Sailors!

The Sailors remain strong in league play and hope to round out the regular season strong!
The Sailors faced Chaminade yesterday and put up a strong defense in the midfield. Several players were sensational for the Sailors and put forth a good effort in the game, but Chaminade was able to pull out a win over Marymount, 2-0.
The Sailors secured their third league win 53-36 over Louisville last Friday night. As always, defense was the key factor for the Sailors' success. Marymount held Louisville to a total of 15 points in the second half. Offensively, the Sailors ran the fast break well and many players scored to reflect a balanced offense.
The Sailors displayed a tremendous effort on the field last Friday against Notre Dame Sherman Oaks. The teams were evenly matched, which elevated the level of play for the Sailors to the highest level seen this season.
Great result from Marymount's JV Soccer Team!

Alexandra Maggiacomo '19 scored a fantastic free kick from twenty three yards away from the goal. Carolina Douglas '19 scored the second by creating space with two cuts followed by a great shot in the corner of the goal. Go Sailors!
Coach Lasan was very pleased with his team and their level of play last week when they faced Harward-Westlake. Marymount took a loss 0-3 to H-W, but the scoreline does not showcase all the great play the Sailors exhibited. Caroline Douglas '19, Olivia Cuevas '19 and Clare Cooper '17 all came out of the gates strong and played a fantastic game and Kate Scibelli '18 made 8 saves as keeper. Overall the Sailors improved and played strong as a unit.
The Sailors lost 57-59 in a close game to Culver City High School on Saturday. The Sailors started slow, but had a nice comeback even taking the lead in the 3rd quarter.

Despite the loss, the Sailors stayed strong and worked together as a team, the maturity and senior leadership was pleasure to see.
Varsity Soccer played a very close game last Friday against Culver City coming up a bit short losing 2-1. The Sailors had a very strong game in the first half.

Marymount had some opportunities, but was not able to capitalize.
