ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Nico Bollini

Servite, Golf

Sure it was only one match, but Bollini, one of the area’s top junior golfers, delivered in the Friars’ biggest dual match of the season. Bollini

shot an impressive

three-under 32 at Los Coyotes for top-ranked

Servite in its 184-185 victory over second-ranked Santa Margarita. Bollini, a junior, bounced back after shooting a one-over 37 in the teams’ first meeting at Coto de Caza North, which the Friars also won, 188-190.

* Rick Devinney

Western, Baseball

Hit three home runs--including a grand slam--two doubles, a triple and drove in 12 runs in four Pioneer victories.

* Junior Quintana

Villa Park, Baseball

Tournament MVP had three hits and three RBIs in the final, helping the Spartans win the Pomona Elks title.

Tia Bollinger

Mater Dei, Softball

Although there are plenty of top-notch pitchers in Orange County, Bollinger continues to show that she is one of the best in the biggest

games. Last week, she helped the Monarchs defeat Rancho Cuca-

monga,

5-1, in the championship game of the San Dimas tournament. Bollinger pitched a one-hitter to improve to 23-1, and struck out 11 to give her 305 strikeouts this season. Her only loss is a 1-0 defeat to Rosary.

* Kristen Dedmon

Freshman pitcher earned two victories in the Michelle Carew Classic, helping the Aztecs reach the final.

* Elisa Liana
