Mira Costa sophomore Maegan Manasse continues to amaze this season. Manasse took an undefeated record into the Bay League Championships, then won the singles title with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Redondo's Elle Taylor in the final.
Manasse, who also had wins over Peninsula's Jasmine Hosseini and Victoria Tam in the tournament, improved to 57-0 on the season heading into the postseason.
"Nobody at the Kramer Club could remember the last time a girl accomplished that feat in the Bay League," Mira Costa coach Joe Ciasulli said "It takes a very special player to go through an entire season without one blemish on her record."
Manasse leads the way as Mira Costa, which finished tied for second in the Bay League with Palos Verdes, gets ready for the CIF Southern Section Division I team playoffs, which starts next week.
Manasse could also be a huge factor in singles in the CIF-SS Individuals, which starts Nov. 19.
