Field Hockey: Sailors with all-around shutout

NEWPORT BEACH - The Newport Harbor High field hockey team produced

a shutout, 2-0, not only in score, but in shots, dominating Glendora in

nonleague action Thursday.

The Sailors (2-1) outshot the Tartans (0-3), 22-0, at Harper Community

Center.

Newport senior Kelly Duffield scored on a breakaway 7:24 into the

game. And, junior Kaley Nix iced the decision, taking a pass from junior

Athena Vasquez and putting it away with about three minutes remaining.

Thanks to the Sailors’ defense, sophomore goalie Amanda Wittman had an

uneventful day, while Glendora goalie Megan Smith turned back 14 shots.

Newport returns to action Saturday in the Orange County Invitational

at Marina High School. The Sailors will play three games Saturday, facing

Santiago at 8 a.m., Fountain Valley at 10 a.m., and Marina at noon. The

tournament will end Sept. 29.
