2015 Desert Pines Girls Tennis Capsule

DESERT PINES

League: Division I-A Sunrise

Head coach: Jan Van Tuyl, fifth season

2014 record: 11-2 (6-1 Sunrise, second)

Returning letter winners: Six

Top athletes: Ashley Palacios (Sr.)

Outlook: Palacios, who was 35-1 last season and has been a solid doubles player throughout her career, leads a list of six letter winners for the Jaguars, who lost only twice last season — an 11-7 decision to Sunrise champion Boulder City, and a 13-5 setback to Clark in the postseason.

"We did very well last year, but it will be difficult to repeat that record," Van Tuyl said. "We have added some upper-division schools to our schedule, which will show us where we are getting to.

"The girls have worked hard this summer to improve their game and ability levels. The group we have this year is an interesting group with a great personality. We will show up for all the matches and see where the ball falls."
