Lacrosse at Harbor

The newly formed varsity lacrosse club team from Newport Harbor High

won its first match, 3-2, over San Gabriel Valley High March 16.

Senior Carlin Schneider scored the Sailors’ first goal and Kaisha

Sommerfield and Kelly Sork rounded out the scoring for the winners.

Wednesday, the Sailors were defeated by a more experienced St.

Margaret’s squad, 7-3, despite two goals from Schneider and another from

Sommerfield.

Newport will host a rematch with St. Margaret’s Wednesday at 5 p.m.

Advisor Jim Crotwell has also formed a boys junior varsity lacrosse

club team at Harbor and reports about 30 athletes are taking part.

The boys team recently won the Orange County Lacrosse Tournament in

Irvine.

The Newport boys lost a lopsided game to a team from Canada, but the

Sailors learned a great deal from the experience, according to their

coach.

Both teams play their home games at Harper Community Center in Costa

Mesa.
