Prep softball: CdM 1-2 in tourney

IRVINE - The Corona del Mar High softball team was defeated by

Villa Park, 7-4, Monday in the second round of consolation play in the

Woodbridge Tournament at Bob Barber Park.

Monday’s loss came after the Sea Kings split a pair Saturday, when

they defeated Serra, 7-1, after a 3-2 loss to Faith Baptist.

In the victory over Serra, senior Mijanou Pham tossed a complete-game

two-hitter, while freshman outfielder Katrina Ridelscheimer, called up

from the junior varsity, was 2 for 3 with an RBI.

Alissa Zoelle went 2 for 3 with an RBI to lead the six-hit attack

against Villa Park.

CdM Coach Terry Christiano said freshmen Sara Stern and Anika Gaar

also performed well in their first varsity action, after spending the

season with the JV.

Sophomore Meaghan Bunney had a double and drove in a run with a walk

against Villa Park.

CdM (9-7) returns to tournament play with two games Saturday, against

opponents to be determined.
