CIF Div 3 Girls Sierra League Well Represented in Playoffs

In the Quarter finals matches today all four of the Sierra league representatives will be playing. Representing the Sierra League is Claremont, St. Lucy's, Chino Hills & Ayala. Unfortunately South Hills who were 5th in the league did not get an at-large bid because they too would probably still be around in the playoffs as well. Later tonight we will find out if we have an ALL-Sierra League Semi Finals.

Chino Hills vs Bonita
Ayala vs Bishop Amat
Claremont @ Diamond Bar
St. Lucy's vs Valencia

The Pursuit for #1.

Claremont steadily climbed up the CIF Div 3 polls reaching number 3 on the last poll. They currently are 25-1-3. Early in the season they reached a number USA ranking by Maxpreps Sports, even thought they were not being considered in their own CIF Div 3 polls, though the polls caught up with one another later in the season. Claremont has an eleven match unbeaten streak going.

Ayala the #2  Sierra League representative is currently 13-8-5. They lost both of their league matches with Claremont  but toppled  #5 rated 22-3-1 Quartz Hills this past Tuesday. Today they play #4 rated 20-4-4 Bishop Amat. Can they become the first double twenty game slayers?

Chino Hills the #3 representative from the Sierra League was 9-4-4 at the beginning of the playoffs.  They beat #8 rated Prep League #1 (15-2-2) Flintridge Prep in the first round and then on Tuesday beat #9 rated Suburban League #1 (19-6-3)  La Mirada.

17-8-2 St. Lucy's the wild card representative from the Sierra League beat the #2 rated Del Rey #1 St. Josephs in the first round of the playoffs after winning a wild card game match. On Tuesday they beat Mayfair HS 4-1.
