Cypress won the CIF Southern Section Division 3 championship. The Centurions beat top-seeded Liberty in the SoCal Regional finals.
Capistrano Valley Christian lost in the CIF-SS Division 6 finals.

The Eagles were 10-21-1 going into the Regional and won four Regional matches, three of which were away matches including wins over SoCal Regional Division IV top-seeded Nipomo and at Mammoth, 352 miles from the Capistrano Valley Christian campus, in the SoCal Regional Division IV final on Tuesday.
