Girls soccer: CdM wins four in a row

SAN BERNARDINO - It seems as if the Corona del Mar High girls

soccer team is on a hot streak. But, with four straight wins in the San

Gorgonio Tournament and a 11-1-2 record Sea Kings Coach Ron Evans would

like to ignore the present time.

“I don’t want to jinx us going into (today),” he said as CdM will face

Etiwanda, the tournament’s No. 1 seed, in the semifinals at 10:45 a.m.

Etiwanda has won the tourney the past two years.

Yet, Evans can’t ignore the Sea Kings recent play. CdM began the round

of 16 with two victories Thursday, a 2-1 win over Don Lugo and a 2-0

decision over Norco.

“We do have a lot of character on this team,” Evans said. “Even though

we miss some players with injuries or sickness, the team seems to rise to

the occasion. We’ll definitely give Etiwanda a game.”

On Wednesday, CdM posted two shutouts with 4-0 victories over Granite

Hills and Apple Valley, respectively.

At the tournament played at the CYSA Complex in San Bernardino, the

Sea Kings have outscored their opponents, 12-1, with three shutouts.

Allison Harvey has scored five goals, while Jenny Long has three. And,

Jaycee Mahler and Kristin Hanson have scored two each.

CdM goalkeeper Britta Vogele turned back five shots against Don Lugo

and four against Norco.

The Sea Kings will be without Molly O’Meara and Lauren Loe today. The

tournament was rescheduled and has gone longer than expected, thus

interfering with O’Meara’s planned schedule for a trip out of town. Loe

was injured against Don Lugo and is not expected back today.
