GIRLS’ LACROSSE

The Corona del Mar High girls’ lacrosse team pulled itself out of the Orange County Championship tournament due to the timing of the event, said first-year varsity coach Ben Lin.

Lin said the Sea Kings had received the No. 7 seed in the eight-team tournament, which begins today with quarterfinal action. CdM finished 10-7, 5-2 in the Pacific Coast League, good enough for second place.

“We just found out about the dates too late and I had already made a prior commitment,” said Lin, adding that his assistant was going to be out of town as well. “I was originally going to do the color commentary for the boys’ OC championship game, but then that got canceled, because Trabuco Hills High School won’t allow Cox News Station to be there, because of construction.”
