That team championship is first in school's 62-year history
Mater Dei Catholic tennis coach Jose Oropeza says there is a four-letter word that is unacceptable on his team.“We want to focus on the positive, so the word “lose’ isn’t in our vocabulary,” said Oropeza, whose Crusaders captured the San Diego Section Division II team tennis title, the first in the school’s 62-year history, dating back to when it was Marian Catholic.
First singles player Isabella Arnaiz, a senior, set the tone by beating her Eastlake counterpart 7-6 after losing to her the previous three matches of the all-Metro Conference final. Arnaiz started playing tennis as a 4-year-old and “couldn’t reach over the net.” In the ninth grade, she joined the program that Oropeza started, which offers tennis for third-graders through high school.
“Ours is a basically home-grown team, and the majority of kids hadn’t played before they came to Mater Dei Catholic. None of the team is nationally ranked, we don’t get those kinds of players, but Isabella is a natural.
