Biography
Stevens has been head tennis coach at Beverly Hills High for 28 years and her last two teams may have been her best. In 2000, Beverly Hills captured the CIF Division II state title for the first time in 28 years and won the prestigious National High School All-America Tournament, which was held in Newport Harbor. SchoolSports.com named the entire Beverly Hills team as its Girls Tennis Player of the Year that season, the only time the service has ever done so. Beverly Hills High repeated as CIF Southern Section champions this year, this time in Division III. Stevens retired after the 2001-2002 season.
In 2015, she was honored with the McCarthy Lifetime Achievement award by the Beverly Hills Athletic Alumni Association. Stevens passed away in March of 2017.
