Palisades High girls volleyball players had revenge on their minds when they traveled to San Pedro High for a nonleague match last Wednesday. San Pedro eliminated Palisades from the City Section playoffs in November, but the Dolphins was determined to prove that they are the team to beat this season. Without All-City hitter/blocker Alex Lunder, Palisades spotted the host Pirates the first game before sweeping the next three. The victory sent an early message that the Dolphins will be a formidable foe come playoff time. ‘It was a really important match for us,’ said PaliHi senior outside hitter Jennifer Donohue, who ended the match with a kill. ‘We’ve been looking forward to playing San Pedro again since we lost to them last year.’ Tennis Wins “First Serve” Palisades remained undefeated by winning the inaugural Wilson ‘First Serve’ tournament Saturday at West Torrance High. The Dolphins (6-0) beat Marymount, 5-1, in the championship match just two days after beating the Sailors, 4-3, in an intersectional match. Kathryn Cullen went undefeated in four matches on Saturday, winning 8-6 at No. 2 singles in the finals. Audrey Ashraf teamed with Erika Lee to win 8-4 at No. 1 doubles against Marymount in the last round of the one-day event. In pool play, Palisades blanked West Torrance and Woodcrest Christian by 6-0 scores and beat Alhambra 5-1. The Dolphins opened the Bay Area Classic against Beverly Hills on Monday.
