Westminster tarred and feathered

Newport Harbor High’s girls field hockey team continues to smother

most competition as evidenced by an 8-0 thrashing of host Westminster

in Sunset League play Tuesday.

Amanda Wittman, usually the goalie, scored two spectacular goals,

one a “slice,” another a “reverse stick,” and topped it off with an

assist to pace the one-sided victory.

Also of note, two goals and standout midfield play from Rachel

Furman, as well as two goals from Kaley Nix and single scores from

Allison Rawlins and Kristin Jendrusina.

Kerrie Gates had two assists and Jill Whitfield, usually in the

scoring mix, was sent to the cage and had one save for the Sailors,

who outshot Westminster, 24-2.

Newport improved to 11-0-2, 5-0-2 in the Sunset League.

The Corona del Mar High girls tennis team continued its mastery of

the Pacific Coast League with an 18-0 victory over visiting Tesoro

Tuesday.

and give them an opportunity to earn CdM varsity victories.

for the Sea Kings, while the doubles team of Jennifer Way and Maggie

Souzzi substituted at No. 1 doubles and contributed two wins.

Brittany Holland, CdM’s No. 1 singles player, and Taylynn Snyder,

the No. 2, did not drop a game in sweeping to their sets, and helped
