Young Warriors varsity girls tennis team looking to improve in 2019

Fallbrook High School varsity girls tennis head coach Bill Lenaway and assistant coach Theresa Young will be working hard all season to keep improving a young Warriors squad to better the 7-8 overall, 4-4 league record the team turned in last season.

The Warriors finished in third place in the league, which earned them the 14th seed in the CIF Division III playoffs. They eventually lost to University City 15-3.

Lenaway said the Warriors are ready to go at it again.

"We will be young, but we are improving," Lenaway said. "I am looking forward to watching our young players improve and learn the game."

Leading the way this year will be sophomore and No. 1 singles player Alexa Guadarrama, who finished one place behind then-teammate Makena Larson in the Valley league singles tournament last year.

"(She is a) solid player that is ready to make the next step to a higher level of play," Lenaway said.

Senior Nicole Dulin will be the No. 2 singles player for the Warriors.

"(She is) one of our two senior leaders," Lenaway said. "She should be a consistent piece in our team."

Gabbi Bulli is the other senior leader and figures to play on the Warriors No. 1 doubles team.

"(She is) always a mature and calming influence," Lenaway said.

The Warriors play Thursday, Aug. 29 at home at the Fallbrook Tennis Club against Mission Hills and then take on La Costa Canyon again at home on Tuesday, Sept. 3. Both matches will begin at 3:15 p.m.
