Coronado – The Coronado Islanders girls tennis team has achieved an impressive 8-0 overall record and a perfect 4-0 in league play as of October 8, 2025. Demonstrating strong performances and teamwork, the Islanders have successfully maintained their undefeated status as they approach the latter part of the season.
The team began this season with substantial momentum after concluding the previous year with a notable first-round victory in the CIF Playoffs. Their recent victories have solidified their reputation, particularly highlighted by a match where they defeated Christian High School with a score of 10-8. In this match, the Islands’ doubles line proved crucial to their success, showcasing exceptional coordination and skill.
Maria Anaya, a key player who usually pairs up with Grace Elardo for doubles, teamed up successfully with junior Lilah Cade in the match against Christian High, securing two match wins. This strategy not only contributed to the match’s overall outcome but also allowed Anaya and Cade to demonstrate their versatility. Another strong doubles pairing, Sam Aldworth and Brynn Belong, continued to impress by recording two victories, bringing their individual total this season to 11 wins.
In addition, doubles team members Sophia Otiko and Zoe Rice also contributed significantly, winning two matches against Christian High and enjoying a winning streak by securing victory in their last five matches. The overall strength of the Islanders’ doubles lineup has been a determining factor in their unbeaten record and ongoing success.

During another match against High Tech Media Arts, all three doubles pairs provided stellar performances. The teams of Grace Elardo & Maria Anaya, Brynn Belong & Sam Aldworth, and Lilah Cade & Logan Shapiro each secured two victories, showcasing the depth of talent on the squad. Additionally, due to a default on High Tech’s No. 3 doubles team, the Islanders gained extra points that played a pivotal role in the match’s outcome.
