"It didn't seem like it was my team out there at the start," said Flintridge Sacred Heart coach Shelli Orlandini, whose team improved to 19-7 against La Canada in the all-time series. "They were a little bit nervous and I don't think they expected La Canada to be as good as they were. But I told my girls that they always come out ready to play." La Canada (2-4) held a 15-9 advantage in the opening game, before the Tologs (5-1) rallied with eight of the next nine points.

It seemed like everything that happened, we got points," said Samantha Orlandini, who recorded her fifth career victory against La Canada, two coming in her freshman season. "I think we were really tense the first two games. But once Katie got going in that third game, I thought we played really well."
