Allie Lipton, who just completed her junior year at Monta Vista, won the Northern California Junior Excellence tennis tournament title. Lipton defeated Jennifer Yen in straight sets in the finals of the three-day invitational tournament.

Lipton, who didn't drop a single set in the tourney, earned the NorCal No. 1 ranking by virtue of her Excellence victory. She was to play in the Maze Cup tournament last weekend with the best players in NorCal facing the top players from Southern Cal.
