Sailors post 15th shutout

Newport Harbor High girls field hockey coach Sharon Wolfe said she

received a total team effort from her squad which defeated Sunset

League host Huntington Beach, 4-0, Thursday.

The Sailors (14-0-4, 8-0-4 in league) earned their 15th shutout

the season, and 10th in league play, as junior goalie Amanda Wittman

recorded two saves and junior Jill Whitfield supported on defense.

Newport scored three of its goals off penalty corners, coming from

seniors Kirsten Chamberlain, Allison Rawlins and Rachel Furman.

Junior Kerrie Gates assisted on Furman’s goal, while senior Kaley

Nix also scored for the Sailors, who received standout performances

from seniors Alyse Vulteen and Megan McHone, Wolfe said.

The Sailors will host Santa Ana Tuesday at Harper Community Center

in Costa Mesa.
