Rietsch named league MVP for girls’ tennis

Laguna Beach High girls’ tennis player Claire Rietsch added to her

collection of honors when she was named MVP of the Pacific Coast

League for the 2004 season.

Rietsch won the Pacific Coast League single title in November, the

second time in the last three years that she has won the crown.

It was during her freshman year that she also was named league

MVP.

“It’s a nice honor and it’s nice that [coaches] respect me and see

me as a tough competitor and clean player,” Rietsch said.

Rietsch led two teams of all-league selections that included four

of her Breaker teammates.

Named to the First Team from Laguna Beach was Katie Ochwat and

Lorren Butterwick.

Second Team picks from Laguna Beach included Kellie Ammerman and

Correy Miller.
