JSerra defeated top-ranked Orange Lutheran 18-7, ending the Lancers' 23-game winning streak and improving to 20-0. The Lions' defense produced four interceptions, highlighted by freshman Tessa Russell's two picks, including a 35-yard return for a touchdown and a game-sealing interception with 1:26 remaining. Freshmen Sterling Flores and Ava Irwin also recorded takeaways, and Irwin later caught a 42-yard touchdown pass from Ava Van Heerde. Kate Meier scored on a two-yard scramble that gave the Lions the lead. JSerra used a rotating double-quarterback system to keep players fresh and has beaten every Southern Section opponent by double digits.
