Girls soccer: Mesa blanks Laguna Hills, 1-0

COSTA MESA - Sharon Day scored in the 61st minute and the Costa

Mesa High girls soccer team posted its fifth shutout of the season to

give the Mustangs a 1-0 victory over visiting Laguna Hills, in nonleague

action Tuesday.

Sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn Gentling recorded four saves to anchor

the defense that helped the Mustangs improve to 5-2.

“The defense is coming together pretty well,” Mesa Coach Dan Johnston

said. “(Laguna Hills) outplayed us in the first half, but the second half

was all ours.”

Mesa will resume action Thursday at 3:15 p.m., playing at Garden

Grove.
