Moorpark High School's girls junior varsity finished 20-0 this year, making Moorpark the only school in the county to have both varsity and JV teams go undefeated in the regular season. It also was the first time both teams won the league title.

The Musketeers were led by sophomore starters Lisa Estill, Leanea Gutierrez, Meaghan Finnerty, Melissa Bentley and Nicole Nestico, with Katy Berry and Nicole King contributing. This group of sophomore players has compiled a 36-3 record over the past two years.

Coach Gene Hatten said, "I feel that all seven of my sophomores on this team will contribute next year. I feel they have the components that they need to win."
