A shift in the Laguna Beach High lineup Tuesday proved to be beneficial for the Breakers, who defeated nonleague rival Dana Hills, 10-0, in girls' tennis action at Dana Hills. Top singles player Claire Rietsch and Katie Ochwat, who usually plays doubles but played Tuesday at No. 3 singles, earned sweeps to help get the Breakers past a determined Dolphins squad. Jackie Reed and Kellie Ammerman won two of three at No. 1 doubles for the Breakers. Previously, Laguna opened its 2003 campaign with a 15-3 win over Woodbridge.

In the first week of the 2003 season, the Laguna Beach High baseball team has had the outcome of its first two games decided in the seventh inning. Trailing Bolsa Grande on Tuesday by a 5-4 count, the Breakers, in their final at-bat, came up with a seven-run inning and went on to score an 11-5 victory over the host Matadors in a consolation bracket game of the Costa Mesa Tournament. Andy Whalen and Chris Stansbury led Laguna's offensive attack, each going 2 for 3. Whalen produced a pair of doubles and three RBI and Stansbury drove in two more runs.
