COSTA MESA, Calif. — The Lady Elks stepped into Cal Pac conference play for the first time this season, facing a tall task against a program that has set the standard in recent years. Despite their best efforts, Stanton couldn't slow down the Lady Warriors' attack, falling short in their opener.

Head coach and players alike emphasized that this game, though challenging, is part of the learning curve. Against one of the toughest opponents in the Cal Pac, the Lady Elks now have a clearer picture of the pace, physicality, and execution required to compete at the highest level of their conference.
The road ahead remains long, and with lessons gained from this test, Stanton looks to regroup and grow stronger as the season unfolds.
