Baseball

Last week baseball had a tough time against the tough pitching of Irvine. Adam Axtell went 6 innings and struck out 9 but the offense couldn’t put together any runs losing 4-0. On Friday, Irvine won 7-0 as the offense struggled to put runs on the board.

Boys Golf

The University Boys Golf team had a close call against Northwood last Thursday at Oak Creek Golf Course.  They escaped with a close match of 204 to 208.  This past Tuesday, the Uni Boys Golf team came back strong against Portola at Strawberry Farms Golf Course with a 194 to 226 win.  George Lu finished 1 under Par of 35 to pace both teams in scoring.

Today, the team travels to Oak Creek Golf Course to take on Irvine High School.  With a win today, it will set the stage for next week’s showdown with Woodbridge on Tuesday (The GOW) and Beckman on Thursday to determine the PCL Champion.  As of today, Beckman, University, and Woodbridge are tied for 1^st place with each having only one loss.

Come cheer them on next Tuesday at the GOW.  Home course is Strawberry Farms Golf Course.  1^st tee time will be 3pm.

Boys Lacrosse

The University Boy’s Varsity Lacrosse team defeated Portola for the season sweep Monday with a 15-7 win. It was our last away game and Portola was ready and waiting to give it everything they had to try and defeat the mighty Trojans. The first half was back and forth, but seniors Brandon Hariyanto, Oliver Kubit and Trevor Lucas Hall lead the way for the Trojans strong finish.

You can view the entire game on YouTube. Today Varsity takes on Irvine in the stadium at 4:00pm, please come and cheer on your Trojans!

Girls Lacrosse

The Lady Trojans played the most challenging game of the year against Beckman, at home, last Friday.  After falling behind, 0-3, the team rallied to pull within 1 point.  The game stayed super close, both teams alternating goals for the majority of the first half, ending 6-7. Beckman leading at halftime.  The second half started with Uni establishing the first lead of the game with 15 minutes remaining.  Again, amazing defensive play from both sides and solid offensive work kept the teams close.  Uni managed to go up two goals with almost six minutes of playing time left on the clock, but a series of unfortunate plays and solid defense by Beckman allowed the Patriots to steal the ball and score the game winning goal with just under a minute left.  Final score: 12-13, Beckman.  Mya Wang (So.) and Kaylor Chott (Sr.) led the Trojans in goals with three apiece and Grace Colunga (Jr.) notched two.  Defensive efforts by Caroline Mumm (So.), Donia Mohtashami (Sr.), Makenzie Field (Sr.) helped to slow the Beckman offense.

Play resumed as Uni met Portola for the 2nd round of league play, and the Trojans erturned to their winning ways, controlling the game in a 20-3 victory.  Wang netted 6 goals and Chott earned3 assists.  Katherine Courtiss (So.) both netted her first goal of the year and scooped up 3 ground balls during her defensive shifts.

Just yesterday, the team traveled to Irvine to face a much improved and more dynamic squad.  The score was tied after ten minutes of play, 3-3, but the team dug deep second half and cruised to a 19-11 victory.  The most impressive moment was when Uni was sitting on two yellow cards, playing with five defenders against seven attackers, and not only shut down Irvine’s offense, but scored a short handed goal (made by Chott) after an interception and some quick movement up field.  Wang led with 8 goals, Colunga added 3, and Elliot Welsh (So.) added 2.

The team is back in action at home against non-league opponent Santiago HS and finishes league play next week.

Softball

Come out and support Uni Softball next Monday, April 22, as they take on Woodbridge in their last home game of the season!  Game starts at 3:30 PM.

Boys Swimming

The University Boy’s Varsity Swim team defeated Beckman to complete their perfect PCL regular season with a record of 5 – 0. Leading the way with 1st place finishes in their individual events were Brian Lou (200 IM & 100 Free), Luke Venzlaff (50 Free), Caedon Ng (500 Free), and Matthew Lou (100 Breaststroke). University placed first in all three relays. The boys head into League Finals next week hoping to secure their first League Title in the last four years! In addition to their League success, the Uni boys achieved great success in winning the Foothill Games Invitational over the weekend! This is a highly-competitive invitational featuring most of the top teams in Orange County. Uni entered the final event of the meet ahead of league rival Northwood, 327 – 320. Both Uni’s A and B relay teams moved up from their prelims ranking to seal the Trojan win! Additionally, the A relay team broke the all-time school record in the event, with a sizzling time of 3:06.02! This record-breaking squad was composed of senior Aaron Lee (lifetime best on the lead-off leg), and juniors Hunter Kroll, Caedon Ng, and Brian Lou!

Girls Swimming

In the past week the Varsity girls have had two meets. The Foothill Games provided a late season test for Uni’s Varsity girls, as 15 top teams compete in a prelim/final meet.  Many swimmers achieved personal bests, and several qualified for the weekend’s finals; some even posted CIF consideration times. Our Medley Relay, comprising Alex Lindenberg (backstroke), Mirabella Levine (breastroke), Izzy Pagano (butterfly), and Annika Nie (freestyle), pushed successfully to come back for finals. Savanna Cruz and Ira Chaturvedi each dropped nearly three seconds in her 200 freestyle, while Alex Lindenberg powered into the finals in both the 200 and the 500 freestyle events. Kate Weiland dropped nearly six seconds in her 200 individual medley to qualify to swim on Saturday, leading Jean Meyer and Kristina Yan, who also posted best times in the grueling event. Leila Mirsafian and Jordan Gibbons powered to personal bests in the 50 freestyle. Ira Chaturvedi posted another personal best in the 100 butterfly. Leila Mirsafian dropped more than a second from her 100 freestyle, earning the chance to swim in finals. Annika Nie and Yuuri Yoshikawa also achieved personal bests in the very competitive 100 freestyle. Savanna Cruz also posted a personal best in the 500 freestyle. Sage Goldberg and Nicole Kwong scored personal bests in the 100 backstroke, following Jean Meyer, who dropped more than a second from her best time to claim a lane and return for the finals on Saturday. Kate and Mirabella both earned CIF consideration times, and Mirabella shot into the fastest weekend heat.

On Wednesday, Beckman visited Uni High, for the last dual meet of the season. The Trojans performed at a high level, showing that the team is near ready for the league championships. The meet began with the Uni girls taking both first and second place in the 200 Medley Relay. Freshman Alex Lindenberg once again posted a strong performance in the 200 freestyle. Mirabella Levine, swimming the 200 Individual Medley for the first time this season, swam to a CIF consideration time of 2:15.68. Izzy Pagano won the 100 yard butterfly, and Annika Nie swam her best time in the 100 yard freestyle. Freshman Jean Meyer maintained a vigorous pace in the 500 freestyle despite the heat to win the race by 14 seconds. Yuuri Yoshikawa won the 100 breaststroke, while Kristina Yan took third with a personal best time.

League finals are next week and then it is off to CIF on May 2 & May 4!

Boys Tennis

The boys tennis team defeated Woodbridge 15 to 3 on Tuesday to clinch their 14^th straight PCL title.  The Trojans have won 128 straight PCL matches dating back to 2006!  Leading the way for the boys were senior Giorgio Conta and sophomore Nic Conta sweeping their three sets at doubles.  The boys conclude the regular season today with a match at Beckman high.

Track & Field

The boys Track and Field had their last league meet against Beckman yesterday here at Uni. In a tough loss we still had some great performances. Kareem Berri and Noah Powell in the shot put, Adam Gish in the 800, Evan Pariser in the High Jump, 110 High Hurdles and 300 hurdles, Raja Batra in the 3200,  Lance DeOlden in the 100 and 200, Anthony Bonfa in the 100 and 200, Ray Corpus in the 110 high hurdles. Ethan Jenkins in the 800, Luca Flick-Kaiser and Henry Wilkens in the High Jump., Ian Proctor and Henry Wilkens in the long  jump. Next week we have League Prelims and Finals at Portola. This last weekend we had the OC Track and Field Championships and Evan Pariser finished 2^nd in the county in the High Jump.

Girls Track and Field had some stiff competition in their last league meet against Beckman yesterday. As always, we had some outstanding performances by our female athletes! To begin, Collette Lowengrub placed 1^st in the 1600 and then placed 2^nd later on in the day in the 800. Sophomore Vani Tankha placed 3^rd in the 400. Sophomore Farimah Fanaei placed 3^rd in the 300 Hurdles and 2^nd in the Long Jump. Sandy Zhang also placed in the Long Jump as well. Freshman Jenna Kim took first in the 200 M. Senior Amber Sun took 2^nd in the high Jump, and Junior Dena Norouzi took 3^rd in both the Shot Put and the Discuss.

Next week we will have League Prelims and Finals at Portola.

Baseball

Baseball played in the Ryan Lemmon tournament over spring break and started the tournament 2-0 with wins over Trabuco hills and el Modena. With loses to San Juan hills and Segerstrom they finished the tournament 2-2 and are 9-11 on the season.

Boys Golf

The Boys Golf team suffered its  1^st league defeat the Thursday before Spring Break.  It was a close match against Woodbridge at Rancho San Joaquin.  The team came up a bit short with a score of 193 to Woodbridge’s 189.

This past Tuesday, the boys team had a huge and crucial bounce back win against previously undefeated Beckman High School at home.  University won the match 192 to 193.  With this win, Uni moved into a tie for PCL 1^st place with Woodbridge and Beckman.  Both Senior Captain Connor O’Brien and Sophomore George Lu carded an impressive 2 under par of 34 to lead the team in scoring.  Also just as important was Freshman George Huang’s birdie on the 9^th (last hole) to seal the win!  This was a complete team effort where literally every shot counted.

Up next is a rematch against Northwood HS at Oak Creek Golf Course today at 2:25pm.  The team record now stands at 4-1 in league play and 5-2 overall.

Go Trojans!!

Boys Lacrosse

The Boys Lacrosse team heads to Beckman on Friday (April 12^th) for a league game.  Varsity starts at 4:00 PM and JV follows at 5:15 PM.  Come out and support!

Girls Lacrosse

The Lady Trojans were back in action after a restful Spring Break, playing away to Northwood yesterday afternoon.  Although the team did show that they had fallen a little out of rhythm during the break, they still took care of business on the field, walking away with a victory 15-7.  Mya Wang (So.) and Grace Colunga (Jr.) led the scoring with 5 goals and 4 goals respectively.  Elliot Welsh (So.)helped feed the offense, notching 3 assists.  Defensive footwork from Erin Jeon (Fr.), Mackenzie Field (Sr.), Donia Mohtashami (Sr.), and Caroline Mumm (So.) kept Northwood scoreless for the first 15 minutes of the game.  The biggest test of league play happens on Friday when the team plays host to Beckman.  Both teams are undefeated in league play.  It is the Girls Lacrosse GOW, an important match, and our home venue, so get out there and support the program as they look to fight for their first league title in program history.  Go Trojans!

Girls Swimming

University has reached the point in the season where the meets are frequent, the training demanding, and the competition intense. Time improvements are tough to come by, as the varsity swimmers work to maintain their focus on long term goals. Yesterday, the swimmers visited Woodbridge. It was a beautiful day, with tough competition against an experienced team. Three freshmen swimmers were particularly impressive for UNI. Alex Lindenberg posted the only individual victory for the Trojan girls, coming from behind to win the 500 Freestyle with a personal best time of 5:23.14, and getting very close to a CIF consideration time. Annika Nie took second in the 100 freestyle, with a personal best of 56.57. Mirabella Levine also achieved a personal best in the 100 breaststroke, scoring a CIF consideration time of 1:08.94. The rest of the season won’t get any easier, but Uni’s girls keep getting tougher.

Boys Tennis

The top ranked boys tennis team moved to 7 and 0 in the Pacific Coast league with a 14-4 win over Portola high.  Sophomores Nic Conta and Eric Jiang won their two matches playing 2^nd doubles for the Trojans.  The boys will continue league play today with a match at Irvine high.

Baseball

In league play baseball split with Northwood but took the overall season series 2 games to 1. Adam Axtell picked up his first win in his first Uni start and the offense came alive in game 2 at Northwood. The offense continued to roll against CDM on Saturday but dropped a pair of contests as CDM capitalized on a couple big innings. Trojans are currently in a tie for fourth 1 and 2 games back from 2nd and 3rd. Junior Faraz Markazi was a highlight going 5-9 at the plate with 4 walks on the week. Axtell went 5 innings 1 earned run in his win vs. Northwood.

Check out this Article from the OC Sports Zone:

Boys Golf

The boys golf team is currently undefeated in league play. They are 3-0 in league and 4-1 overall. This past Tuesday, they beat Irvine High School 198 to 232. The team was led by freshman Jacob Fox who shot an impressive 1 over par 37.  His low score also gave him low medalist honors.

Today, they will go on the road to take on defending PCL Champion Woodbridge at Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course.  This will be a tough match. Woodbridge has won the league championship the last 3 years and is still the team to beat this year.  The Uni boys will all need to bring their A game to have a shot today.

Next week is spring break so the next match will be 4/9 against Beckman High School at home.

Boys Lacrosse

The next Boys Lacrosse game is set for Wednesday, April 10^th at home against Northwood.  Varsity game starts at 4:00 PM with JV following at 5:30 PM.

Girls Lacrosse

Girls Lacrosse is continuing their fine form and remain undefeated in league play.  The Lady Trojans played host to Irvine on Monday and despite the hospitality, Irvine left with a bitter taste as they fell 15-1.  Mya Wang (So.) led the team with five goals and Irvine couldn’t apply much pressure as Wang, Elliot Welsh (So.) and Kaylor Chott (Sr.) kept winning draw after draw, controlling an astonishing 71% of the draws overall.  Nine different players found the back of the net.

On Wednesday, the team travelled to Woodbridge for a long anticipated match.  Woodbridge has had a strong season and is home to the league’s #1 goal scorer, so the girls knew it would be a challenge; and they met that challenge!  Mya Wang helped tremendously by securing an absolutely incredible 90% of the draws, allowing Uni to break out to a 3-0 lead in the first few minutes.  Woodbridge was not deterred, and the #1 scorer did not disappoint as she quickly found the back of the net twice, bringing Woodbridge to within one.  However, amazing defensive play and measured controlled allowed Uni to keep scoring, and at halftime, the ladies led 8-4.  The halftime talk centered around how Woodbridge was a second half team, and how the girls would have to work hard to make sure they didn’t get back into the game.  And that is exactly what they did.  Led by defensive captain Donia Mohtashami (Sr.), Talia Abunimeh (Sr.), Mackenzie Field (Sr.), and goalie Gracelyn Caceros (Sr.), Uni held Woodbridge to only 3 second half goals, while adding five of their own.  Makenzie Kaufman (Jr.) and Olivia Biase (So.) added three goals a piece to their scoring records to make it a memorable evening for the two.  Uni was victorious, 13-7.  It was an awesome win for the team and they can head into Spring Break for some much needed recovery and rest.

The team travels to Northwood after the break and then plays Beckman at home (our GOW) on Friday, April 12^th…we’ll need your support so please come out and cheer on the team!

Softball

Softball heads to Bill Barber Park Stadium for a league match up with Woodbridge today at 5:00 PM.  Good luck to the team!

Boys Swimming

The Uni Boys Swim Team has started to pick up speed as they enter their Pacific Coast League season! After defeating Portola last week, the boys’ team claimed substantial victories over Irvine in all three competition levels (Open 87-67, JV 109-61, Varsity 116-54). Placing 1st or 2nd overall in at least one individual event were Aaron Lee, James Koga, Hunter Kroll, Caedon Ng, Luke Venzlaff, Youssef Youssef, Brian Lou, & Sidney Miller. Additionally, all of Uni’s “A” relay teams placed 1st in their event, and the relays as a whole outscored Irvine 26 – 16. The Trojan swimmers look forward to a couple weeks of hard work, before returning to league meets against Woodbridge and Beckman. Come out to support us at our next home meet against Beckman on April 17th!

Girls Swimming

When the Irvine High School Vaqueros came to swim against the Trojans on Wednesday (3/27), University High School declared the meet the Game of the Week. Throngs of fans crowded into the pool area to watch the heated competition, cheering wildly with every well-executed flip turn. They were not disappointed, as UNI’s Varsity Girls won more than their share of close and extremely exciting races. Alex Lindenberg scorched to victory in the 200 Freestyle, posting a time of 2:01.49, and later achieved a personal best while winning the 500 freestyle, followed by Savanna Cruz who took second place. Annika Nie swam her best times in the 50 and 100 Freestyle events. UNI’s 200 Freestyle relay team beat its seed time, posting a CIF consideration time. The breastroking crew of Mirabella Levine, Yuuri Yoshikawa, and Kate Weiland swept the top three spots in the 100 yard event, with Mirabella achieving a consideration time for CIF. We know that nothing comes easy in the competitive high school swim season, and that UNI’s varsity girls are willing to put in the effort needed to excel.

Boys Tennis

The top ranked boys tennis team defeated Beckman on Tuesday to remain undefeated in league play with a record of 5-0.  This past weekend the boys took part in the National All-American Tennis tournament in Newport Beach.  The 2^nd seeded Trojans defeated Brophy Prep from Arizona in the first round 8 to 0.  In the 2^nd round Conrad Brown won his singles set to give Uni a tight victory over Bellarmine College Prep.  Unfortunately, the boys lost a close match to Torrey Pines high school in the semi-final.

The boys will be back in action today against Northwood.

Track & Field

Last Thursday we had a great meet against Portola, with some outstanding performances from the girls track athletes. Firstly, big shout out to Collette Lowengrub, Cece Langlois, and Avery Klauke who swept the 3200,1600 AND 800!  Additionally, Vani Tankha and Roseanne Yu placed 2^nd and 3^rd in the 400M, Jenna Kim and Samantha Skurnick took 1^st and 3^rd in both the 100M and 200M, Farimah Fanaei took 3^rd in the 300 hurdles and 2^nd in the long jump, Sandy Zhang took 2^nd in the triple jump, Amber Sun took 2^nd in the high jump, and Dena Norouzi took 3^rd in the shot put.

This Thursday we are up against Irvine and it should be a great meet. Looking forward to seeing what our girls can do! Go Uni Track and Field!

Boys Track and Field competed against Portola High School but lost when all of the points were totaled. Some stand out performances came from Ryan Duffy, Adam Gish and Dylan Muniz in the 1600, Ray Corpus and Ben Chi in the 110 High Hurdles, Steven Li in the 400, Matt Tang and Lance Deolden in the 100 and 200,Ryan Duffy Eathan Jenkins and Adam Gish in the 800, Ben Chi in the 300 Hurdles, Raja Batra and Dylan Muniz in the 3200, Ryan Duffy in the long jump and Noah Powell in the Shot and discus.

Uni Baseball heads to Northwood on Friday (March 23) for a 3:30 league game.  Saturday (March 23) they will play a double header against Corona Del Mar at Uni.  Games start at 11:00 AM.  Come out and support!

Boys Golf

The Boys Golf team played Northwood HS this past Tuesday at Strawberry Farms Golf Course. We won 191 vs 214.  This marks our 1^st win against Northwood in 3 years.  Connor O’Brien took low medalist honor with 1 under par 35!  Junior John Stapakis finished even par 36 followed by George Lu’s 39.

Today we head to San Juan Hills in San Juan Capistrano for an away match against Portola HS.  This is the first year with Portola joining the Pacific Coast League. We are looking forward to hopefully receiving our 3^rd straight win!

Go Trojans!

Boys Lacrosse

Boys Lacrosse heads to Irvine for a 6:00 PM game on Monday, March 25^th.  Best of luck to the team!

Girls Lacrosse

Girls Lacrosse is off to an undefeated beginning in League play.  Facing off against Northwood on Monday, the Lady Trojans played a back and forth opening five minutes where the score stayed close (2-2) before establishing control of the game.  Eight different players found the back of the net as Uni cruised to a 17-5 win.  Mya Wang (So.), Makenzie Kaufman (Jr.), and Grace Colunga (Jr.) each scored three and Kaylor
Chott (Sr.) provided five assists and added a goal of her own.  Goalie Gracelyn Caceros (Sr.) snagged two interceptions from the crease and made four saves on the night.

This performance was followed by an away match against the newest member of Irvine, the Portola Bulldogs.  The experience University possesses shined through in this match against a team in only their second season, first as a Varsity program.  Uni led 11-0 at the end of the first half, and concluded the game 18-1.  Goalie Madison Beltran (Jr.) was forced into five saves to keep Portola on the single goal.  Nine different field players scored, including senior Mackenzie Field, who returned to the field after enduring a concussion received during pre-season.   Wang led the team with a total of five goals.  Senior defender Donia Mohtashami picked off two passes.  All around, it was a convincing win.

The team plays a non-league match against Esperanza today and returns to league play on Monday (March 25), facing off against Irvine HS in an away match.

Softball

Uni Softball heads to Portola this Thursday (March 21) for a league game.  This Saturday, March 23, the team will play a double header at Corona Del Mar.  First game starts at 9:00 AM.  Come out and support the team!

Boys Swimming

The Uni boys swim and dive team had a phenomenal week! First, they upset second-ranked Santa Margarita on Tuesday, 90-80. This was achieved through a strong team effort, with strong contributions throughout the lineup.  Obtaining first place finishes in at least one individual event were Caedon Ng, Brian Lou, Aaron Lee, and Matthew Lou.  Matthew Lou, a freshman swimming on the Varsity team, also achieved his first CIF consideration cut in his 100 breaststroke! On Wednesday, the team traveled to Portola for their second league meet of the season. The Uni boys swept Portola at all levels, and recorded personal records in over half of their events. Swimming particularly well were juniors Sidney Miller, Hunter Kroll, and Brian Lou. Miller achieved his first CIF cut of the year in the 100 backstroke, with a winning time of 55.13. Kroll was victorious in both the 500 free and the 200 IM. His speedy finish in the 200 IM gained him his second CIF consideration cut of the year in 1:59.37. Lou dominated both of his individual events, gaining CIF automatic cuts in the 50 free and the 100 fly. In the 50 free, he broke the all-time Uni school record from 2014 by 0.01 seconds, recording a time of 20.70. This time is bound to get faster, and it will be exciting to see what he can do as we move into the championship season! Come out and support the Uni Swim Team on Wednesday 3/27 when they face league opponent Irvine!

Girls Swimming

Swimming is a difficult sport, and competing in the densest concentration of young talent in the world makes it even tougher. This week, the Trojans experienced the intense highs and lows of tough competition.

UNI’s swimmers went on the road twice this week, and the away meets presented tough challenges for our ambitious Varsity girls. On Tuesday, the water at Santa Margarita was thick and sticky, at least in UNI’s lanes. The Trojans swam with dignity, but were unable to win any of the events, and personal bests were in short supply—although the A relays in both the 200 and 400 Freestyle were able to score consideration times for CIF. Overall, however, the day was one of battling wakes. But when the going gets tough, the tough get going, and the UNI girls got going.

The Trojans brought their intense commitment to Portola on Wednesday, and posted impressive showings all around, beating Portola palpably 99-71.  Alex Lindenberg won the 200 Freestyle and the 100 Backstroke, posting personal bests in both races. Annika Nie captured the 50 Freestyle, and Izzy Pagano won the 100 Butterfly. Kate Weiland and Yuuri Yoshikawa took the top two places in the 100 Breastroke. With strong performances up and down their lineup throughout the meet, the UNI girls demonstrated their ability to respond to adversity, and gave their school reason to expect even more from the rest of the season.

Boys Tennis

The top ranked boys tennis team defeated Irvine high 16 to 2 on Tuesday to move to 10 and 0 on the year and 3-0 in the Pacific Coast league.  Freshmen Conrad Brown led the Trojans sweeping his three sets at singles.  The boys will be in action on Thursday (March 21) at Woodbridge and will also compete in the National All-American tournament Friday and Saturday, March 22-23.

Track & Field

Boys Track had their league opener against Northwood here at Uni last Thursday. Some our stand out performances came from Adam Gish in the 1600, Steven Li in the 400, Lance Deolden in the 100, Adam Gish and Michael Blinstrub in the 800, Ben Chi in the Triple jump, Evan Pariser, Noah Powell in the Shot. We are up next against Portola. Go Trojan track and Field!

We had our first league meet against Northwood on Thursday 03/14. We had some outstanding performances by Collette Lowengrub in the 1600 and 800, Jenna Kim in the 100 and 200, and Cecilia Langlois and Avery Klauke in the 3200 M run. In the field events, seniors Amber Sun in the high jump and Sandy Zhang in the triple jump, scored some points for the team as well. This Thursday (3/21) we are up against Portola and are excited for the season ahead. Go Uni Girls Track and Field!

Baseball

Uni baseball went 0-2 last week. With a 13-4 loss to Irvine and a 9-0 loss to Woodbridge. Uni JV had a strong week with wins against Irvine 2-0 and Woodbridge 8-2. They also tied Irvine last Friday 3-3 so they were 2-0-1 on the week.  Baseball GOW is tomorrow, March 15^th, come out and support the team as they take on Beckman at 3:30 at the Uni Baseball field.

Boys Golf

We completed our final tune up before the start of league play with a win against Huntington Beach at home with a score of 191 to 197.  We were led by Sophomore George Lu who shot even par 36.  This is impressive because he started out with 4 over par after 4 holes.  George finished strong with 4 birdies in 5 holes to take low medal honors!  Senior Connor O’Brien, out all last week due to illness, finished with 38.  Steven Li finished with a birdie to card 39 and newcomers, Junior John Stapakis and Freshman George Huang finished 40 and 38 respectively.

I was impressed with the resilience of the team.  No one played exceptionally well but after poor starts all around, the team finished with 10 birdies, all during the last 5 holes, to pull off this impressive win.

Next week we start league play against Northwood at home at Strawberry Farms.  We then travel to Portola on Thursday.  We are looking for strong performances all around.

Go Trojans!!

Boys Lacrosse

The University Boys Varsity Lacrosse team evened their non league record to 2-2, with a dominant performance, a 19-4 win, over the Tustin Tillers.

The Tillers showed up with numbers, but the Trojans were undaunted. From start to finish the Trojans were in control, with exemplary play by face off specialist Ethan Doan, the time of possession favored Uni all game.

Many players scored as the Trojans executed play after offensive play with great team chemistry.  Overall it was a great effort.

Come support the Trojans at their first league game Monday at Northwood! Go Trojans!

Girls Lacrosse

The Girls Lacrosse program had a week of ups and downs.  The team played a tough game against a hardworking Yorba Linda squad, but ended up losing 15-14.  Despite missing 8 players from the Varsity roster, the team hung in for the entirety of the 50 minutes exchanging goals back and forth.  Mya Wang (So.) ended up netting 11 of those 14 goals!  What an absolutely amazing individual effort!  The team bounced back from that game and defeated Mission Viejo 16-5 yesterday (3/13).  Junior goalie Madison Beltran allowed only two goals and earned five saves on the night to keep Mission Viejo from mounting a comeback.  Some solid stickwork all around the field helped the girls stay predominantly in the offensive third of the field.  The team has a really tough game against El Dorado on Friday, 4:00 PM, in the Trojan Stadium, so please come out and support.  League play kicks off next week, so the girls could use all the support the Trojan Army can muster this Friday to send them off to League in style!

Softball

Uni Softball takes on La Quinta at home today (March 14^th) at 3:15.  Come out and support!

Boys Swimming

This week, the Uni Boys Swim Team dueled cross-town rivals and defending state champion Northwood, and came out convincingly victorious by a score of 99-71!  Leading the team by winning both of their individual events were junior Brian Lou (100 Freestyle and 200 IM), and senior Aaron Lee (50 Freestyle and 100 Fly).  Also contributing significantly by winning one individual event were junior Hunter Kroll (500 Free), junior Sidney Miller (100 Back), and freshman Matthew Lou (100 Breast).  Additionally, the team came together to win all three relays, gaining CIF qualification times in all three!  The Uni Swim TEam will be preparing for Tuesday’s match-up with one of the strongest teams in the county, Santa Margarita.  Go Trojans!

Girls Swimming

Northwood High School visited UNI yesterday to open the league swim season, and the Varsity Girls gave them a great deal to think about. Both the A and B Medley 200 Medley Relay Teams posted CIF consideration times to start the meet. Later, the A 200 Free Relay and 400 Free Relay also posted consideration times. Several girls posted impressive individual times as well.  Alex Lindenberg dropped 2 seconds in her 200 Freestyle to win the event. Isabella Pagano dropped nearly a half-second in the 100 butterfly, closing in on a CIF consideration time. Alex Lindenberg and Jean Meyer both scored personal bests in the 100 Backstroke. Mirabella Levine touched out her Northwood opponent at the wall to win the 100 Breaststroke, claiming a CIF consideration time in the process. The varsity girls demonstrated intense commitment and great promise; it figures to be a great season.

University Boys tennis handles Northwood to remain the Pacific Coast League beast

IRVINE – University sophomore tennis player Rithvik Krishna defeated an opponent on Tuesday that he respectfully called a “beast.”

But after the Trojans’ dominating performance against visiting Northwood and newcomer Harry Yang, University showed it’s still the most dangerous team in the Pacific Coast League.

Even when not at full strength.

Playing without ace Aditya Gupta, the top-ranked Trojans still swept the six first-round sets en route to a 15-3 victory against the No. 2 Timberwolves, extending their remarkable league winning streak to 120 matches.

“Six-zero in the first round was pretty unexpected, to be honest,” veteran University coach John Kessler said. “(Northwood coach) John (Tichy) does a great job and Northwood is a really good team. They’ve had impressive scores.”

Last week, Northwood (7-1, 1-1) beat former league rival Corona del Mar 11-7 in a statement victory that places the Timberwolves, ranked No. 6 in Division 1, in the conversation for the Open Division playoffs.

University (8-0, 2-0), ranked No. 1 in the county and Division 1, moved Krishna to No. 1 singles to replace Gupta, who was a playing a Futures challenger event, and he responded by defeating the 6-foot-6 Yang, a senior bound for Georgetown.

Krishna used a strong serve and aggressive forehand against Yang’s slice shots for a 6-4 victory.

“He’s 6-foot-6, bombs serves every now and then,” said Krishna, who stands about 5-foot-9. “I played straight up (without strategy changes), but I had to try to grind him out because he’s really big. It’s kind of tough to grind out a 6-foot-6 beast, but I did it today. I don’t think he was at his very best.”

Krishna went 2-0 in singles before being substituted in the third round.

Yang, who had been home-schooled until this year, beat University’s No. 2 Soomin Lee 6-4 in the second round, but Lee and fellow junior Cameron Sepahi each beat Trojans’ No. 2 Cory Pham.

University also received sweeps at doubles from its top team of freshman Conrad Brown and senior Luis Moros and the No. 2 team of senior Michael Rudin and freshman Zino Mirtorabi.

“Sometimes you play better when your main guy is not (there) – sometimes you look for that person to carry you,” Kessler said. “(But) we haven’t lost (in league) since 2006. … Just think about how insane this is because all these teams are good in their own right.”

Track & Field

Boys Track and Field had their last preseason meet last week against Huntington Beach. The team was missing all of our seniors due to the senior activity day but we still had some great performances. All boys relays beat HB and other top performers included Adam Gish in the 1600, Henry Feurborn and Ben Chi in the 110 High Hurdles, Michael Blinstrub in the 400, Lance Deolden in the 100 and 200, Michael Blinstrub and Adam Gish in the 800, Ben Chi and Henry Feurborn in the 300 Hurdles, Raja Batra in the 3200, Noah Powell in the Shot and Disc and Daniel Hernandez in the Long Jump. Today (March 14^th) we have our first league meet here at Uni against Northwood. Come out and support! Go Trojan track and Field!

Last week we had our final preseason meet against Huntington Beach High School. We were missing a few of our Varsity athletes due to Senior Activity Day, but many of the girls stepped up and had some great performances! Our girls 4X100 M relay won their race. We swept the 1600 M with Collette Lowengrub, Cece Langlois, and Avery Klauke taking 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd. Sophomores Vani Tankha and Laura Li took 2^nd and 3^rd in the 400 M run. Freshman Jenna Kim placed 2^nd in the 100 M and 200 M.  Collette Lowengrub and Avery Klauke also took 1^st and 2^nd in the 800 M.  Cece Langlois took 1^st in the 3200 M, Dena Norouzi took 2^nd in the discus, and Farimah Fanaei took 1^st in the long jump.

We have our first league meet against Northwood today, March 14^th, so we hope to see you there!  Go Uni Track and Field!

University opens league play by defeating Northwood 1-0.  Check out the article below from the OC Sports Zone!

Boys Golf

The Boys Golf season is officially under way with our 1st golf tournament Monday (2/25) at Western Hills Country Club for the Chris Roth Memorial Golf Tournament. Out of 12 schools, we finished 4th place! A very respectable accomplishment. Out of almost 90 players, Connor O’Brien finished 1 over par 73 to tie for 1st place! He officially finished 2nd after losing in a sudden death playoff.

The team traveled to SeaCliff Country Club and played Huntington Beach last Thursday.  We lost the match 208 to 213. We were without our 2 senior veterans but the new freshmen gained some valuable experience as they competed in their 1st official high school match.  Next Wednesday, we have a rematch against Huntington Beach at our home course of Strawberry Farms.  We will be at full strength and looking for some payback.

The team is led by Connor O’Brien, one of the best players in our league and as records shows, one of the best in Southern California.  Last year’s freshman phenome, George Lu, is getting back to mid season form.  We are also looking for strong contributions from Sophomore Steven Li, who finish 1st in the SCPGA Jr Tour Summer Rankings.  We are anticipating a strong showing this year and based on our practice, we will be tough to beat at home. Go Trojans!

Boys Lacrosse

The University Boy’s Varsity lacrosse team has started their season off well with a 1-1 start. This Friday, March 8^th they play Vista Murrieta at home in the stadium. This year is the first year of JV at Uni and the squad loves it.  Varsity is led by some talented captains, seniors Lucas Hall and Oliver Kubit and junior Matthew McCarthy.

Matt McCarthy is controlling the offense with 9 points (6 goals and 3 assists).

Girls Lacrosse

Girls Lacrosse is officially in season!  The team participated in the Rose Bowl tournament (in the rain) last Saturday, March 2^nd.  They lost their opening game to Redondo Beach (#1 team from LA County two years in a row), defeated West Ranch HS, then lost to Aliso Niguel in a re-match of last year’s post-season game.  Nonetheless, competing in the toughest bracket helped the team prepare for the season and showcased both areas for growth and strengths the team possesses.

On Tuesday, the ladies played Laguna Hills and immediately ran out to lead 12 seconds into the game as Mya Wang (So.) won the draw and beat the defense to net the first goal of the game.  From there, the team never looked back, leading by 7 at halftime and finishing 15-3.  Awesome defense from Erin Jeon (Fr.), Caroline Mumm (So.), and Elliot Welsh (So.) helped stop the Laguna Hills team from generating much offense.  Mya Wang led the offense with 7 goals, Grace Colunga (Jr.) netted 3 times and Alex Allan (Sr.) had two beautiful underhand shots she rolled in by the keeper.  What a way to start!

Thursday (today) the Lady Trojans are away against Yorba Linda, but are back in action at home next Wednesday (3/13) against Mission Viejo.  We’d love to have you out there cheering us on!

Softball

Although the rain has been playing with our schedule, the Trojan softball team could not be more excited about this season!  We are guided with strength from our pitching crew of Jackie Diaz and Sydney Spencer and our freshly groomed awesome shortstop Natalie Zane!  Our bats are lively and strong and our youth has enthusiasm and positive energy!  We work hard every day and get stronger every day!  Check our schedule and come see us. You won’t believe how strong Danielle Prosky is up at bat!! We have Estancia on Friday at 3:15 right here at Uni!  Come on out and support your Trojans!!

Swimming

The Boys and Girls Swim teams are gearing up for their first league meet of the season against Northwood on March 13^th.  The meet will start at 3:00 PM at the Uni Pool.  Come out and support!

Boys Tennis

Boys Lacrosse

Girls Lacrosse

The Girls Lacrosse program is already deep in to the season, even though season hasn’t officially started!  The girls have participated in 3 pre-pre-season tournaments to gain practice and experience before officially kicking off on March 2^nd by participating in the annual Rose Bowl tournament in Pasadena.  Our first home game is March 5^th against Laguna Hills at 4:00 PM (in the stadium), so please come out to support!

Softball

Uni Softball kicked off their season with a non-league game at Crean Lutheran on Tuesday.  The Trojans were defeated 2-3 but are looking forward to their next game on Tuesday, Feb. 26^th v Westminster at home.

Swimming

The Uni Swim and Dive team are beginning their season today, Feb. 21^st with a home meet against Laguna Hills.  The meet starts at 3:00 p.m. today at the Uni pool, come out and support!

Boys Tennis

The boys tennis team has gotten off to a fast start.  Last Tuesday the boys defeated San Marino 11 to 7 at San Marino high.  Junior Soomin Lee won his two sets, 6-0, at first singles.  Senior captain Michael Rudin and Luis Moros won both sets they played at first doubles.

This past Tuesday the boys packed the bus and took the varsity and JV teams to Los Angeles to play the defending D-I and top ranked Wolverines from Harvard-Westlake.  The JV team won 11 – 7 at LA Valley College keeping their winning streak alive at 14 years and counting.  The boys JV team have not lost a single match since 2005!  The varsity team somehow pulled out a victory (9-9 in sets, 79 to 76 on games!) before a packed and hostile crowd at the Weddington Golf and Tennis club.  UPenn bound senior Aditya Gupta swept his three matches at first singles to lead the Trojans.  Junior Soomin Lee won two of three sets at 2^nd singles and Michael Rudin and Cameron Sepahi won two sets at first doubles including the last set on the court to clinch the match for Uni.  The boys got back to Uni at 9:30 pm but it was an exciting day.

This meet is the longest standing dual meet Uni has had with any school and has continued for more than 30 years. We look for our returning athletes to put up some good marks  and hope to have some surprises from our new and up and coming athletes. Come out and support! Go Uni Track and Field!

Boys Basketball

Tonight the Boys Varsity Basketball team takes on Woodbridge on senior night at
7:00 p.m. in the gym.  Winner goes to the CIF playoffs.  Please come out and support
your team.

Girls Basketball

The Lady Trojan Basketball team has done it again! League Champions Back to Back.  The girls team clinched its second league championship in two years on Friday night against Irvine.  The goal now is to go 10-0.  With a win over Beckman Tuesday night, they are one step closer to being undefeated.  On Tuesday night Malia Goldsmith broke two school records.  She is now the career record holder for points and 3-pointers made.  She had already broken the career steals record last season, and with only 5 more assists needed, she will break the career assist record as well.  What an accomplishment.  She now holds 4 of the 6 career records for University girls basketball.  Good luck tonight in their final league match up against Woodbridge.

Boys Soccer

Boys soccer won on Friday night 2-0 against Irvine.

Won again on Monday against Beckman 2-0 to seal a second consecutive league championship.

We finish league 7-1-2 and 13-2-3 overall going into D1 CIF Playoffs for the first time in school history.

Both lower levels also finish a top the league standings for the second consecutive season meaning we have swept the board for 2 years in a row.

JV finish with an overall record of 10-5-3 ( 8-2 in league)

FS finish with an overall record of 11-3-2 ( 7-2-1 in league)

Congrats to all involved in the program.

Girls Soccer

Girls soccer had a tough loss against Beckman on Monday.  But that didn’t stop us from beating Woodbridge last night! The girls finished 2^nd in league and now are on the way to CIF.  If you see the girls please congratulate them as they have been working really hard to get to this point.

Girls Water Polo

Girls water polo finished their last game against Woodbridge placing 4th in league on Wednesday.  They also finished with above a .500 record this year, so they will ask for a wild card spot in the CIF tournament.
