this is so far a great story.

Hilt-Costello has assembled an almost all frosh crew for the future in her final year. Assuming the next coach can retain, this is a throwback to Beach dominance from 2005-2015

9-2 record, back in the rankings, have been closing out teams, a deep team. headed to a top tier BWCT seed

huge huge match vs. Hawaii on Thursday, Hawaii at the top at 4-0. Hawaii beat NOrth 5-2, Beach did 4-3, Hawaii lost to SDSU, who Beach beat.

hopefully the coaching search has started, almost an impossible task, would be good to have that selection set before the end of the season given this roster. this is not MBB where one needs to wait

one name to consider.

would be a dream to get HOF Peter Smith back for 5 years, but doubt he'd give up giving $135/hour + lessons at the Jack Kramer Club, nor probably not the one at this stage of his HOF coaching career to deal with the int'l recruiting needed

Rachel Manasse has been various D2-3 head coaching stints, not sure she'd be the right fit

both know the SoCal tennis inside out.

almost impossible to replace Hilt-Costello
