CdM wins group in South Torrance Tournament

TORRANCE - Corona del Mar High’s girls soccer team continues its

impressive start by winning its group at Saturday’s pool play in the

South Torrance Tournament with a victory over Redondo and a tie with

Bishop Montgomery.

In the first game, goals from Elisha Morgan and Julia Livingston led to a

2-0 CdM victory over Redondo Union. Goalie Britta Vogele had four saves

in the shutout.

In the second game, the Sea Kings (3-0-1) tied defending CIF Southern

Section Division IV champ Bishop Montgomery, 1-1. The Sea Kings took the

lead 10 minutes before halftime when freshman Jennifer Long blasted a

shot from top of the goalie box. But the Knights scrambled to tie the

game with 10 minutes left to salvage a tie.

“I thought we should have gotten the victory,” CdM Coach Ron Evans said.

“We outplayed them. It was a hard-fought match.”

CdM will face Edison in the quarterfinals Saturday. Its next game though,

is against perennial power Woodbridge.

“I do that on purpose,” Evans said about the tough schedule. “Playing

against strong competition will only make us better.”
