CdM nicks Costa Mesa, 1-0

CORONA DEL MAR - Pacific Coast League repeat champion Corona del

Mar pulled out a 1-0 victory over Costa Mesa High’s invading Mustangs

Thursday, closing out the regular season with a 23-1-3 record overall,

9-0-1 in league.

Allison Harvey scored the lone goal in the 25th minute on a direct

kick.

“The ball was ping-ponging around in the box and she just made a great

effort to get to the ball and shot it in the box,” said Costa Mesa Coach

Dan Johnston.

Mesa goalie Chelsea Soria had 11 saves, but the focal point was the

play of Corona del Mar’s Britta Vogele, who had eight saves, several in

the eye-opening category.

“Britta Vogele was just awesome,” said Johnston. “She gets my vote of

Orange County Player of the Year. She’s the best goalie I’ve seen in 10

years.”

Costa Mesa falls to 14-5-5, 6-2-2.
