AYSO Region 97: Breakers win Newport Invitation tourney

NEWPORT BEACH - The Newport Beach Breakers, a girls-under-10

progressive plus team from AYSO Region 97, won the inaugural Newport

Invitation U-10 Soccer Tournament last weekend.

The Breakers posted victories over Mission Viejo, North Irvine and

Newport Beach Gold, placing the squad in the championship game against

San Clemente.

After a tough defensive battle, the Breakers outlasted San Clemente,

thanks to solid efforts from Meghan McMahon, Maggie Bernay, Kelly Heenan,

Katy Storch, Amy Snyder and Stephanie Nealey.

The midfield was led by Alice Cope, Shannon Rohan, Lauren DeVoy and

Kori Erhorn, while from the striker position, the combination of Sara

Gomez and Erin Miller continued to provide constant pressure to the

opposition’s defenses.
