Estancia socks it to CdM

CORONA DEL MAR - Estancia High’s boys soccer team dealt a heavy

blow to Corona del Mar’s hopes for a CIF Playoffs berth Wednesday as the

Eagles dominated the Pacific Coast League match on Corona’s turf, 3-1.

The Eagles struck first and took a 2-0 lead by halftime, thanks to

goals from Noe Martinez and Geo Macias.

Martinez scored on a penalty kick and Macias, with a deep shot, had

Estancia in the driver’s seat.

Corona del Mar cut it to 2-1 some seven minutes into the second half

on Shogo Fujii’s goal, which came from within a scramble and finished

with a couple of good moves to get open from the left side.

Estancia clinched it midway through the second half when Javier Millan

deflected the ball and then, with a nice touch pass, got it to Victor

Cervantes, who drove the ball in on the Estancia improves to 5-11, 2-5 in

the PCL. Corona del Mar sags to 5-9-3, 2-4-1.
