With a strong showing from their underclassmen, the Tritons showcased their depth and determination, setting the tone for what promises to be a thrilling season ahead.

With minimal waves on Thursday morning, both teams had to get creative to get points, battling for every wave they could find. Despite the challenging conditions, four Tritons took first in their respective heats: Katie Fischer, Dylan Streiff, Wyatt Swick, and Tripp Nehrig. Christian Batley, Katie Fischer, Charlotte Gehard, and Nathan Wintrode took second in their heats. Pacifica Christian displayed impressive teamwork, technique, and perseverance, pulling ahead of the Vikings and never looking back.

With their first Sunset League victory in the books, the Tritons are already looking ahead to their next match, as they prepare to host the Huntington Beach High School Oilers, on October 2.
