Sailors roll, 16-2

WALNUT - Newport Harbor High’s girls tennis team elected to compete

without standouts Natalie Braverman and Megan Hawkins in Saturday’s CIF

Division II second-round match against host Walnut High, and it didn’t

make much difference.

The second-seeded Sailors, now 13-3, shelled the Mustangs, 16-2, to

move into Tuesday’s quarterfinals, most likely against Sunny Hills at a

site to be determined by coin flip.

Senior Kelly Nelson and sophomores Diana Khoury and Vanessa Dunlap

swept their singles foes to lead the way.
