Breakers claim third

The Newport Beach Breakers went 2-1, including a defeat over Aliso

Viejo in a shootout to take third place in the 2002 Costa Mesa

Classic last weekend.

The girls under-13 silver all-star soccer team from AYSO Region 97

was tied with Aliso, 2-2, at the end of regulation in the third place

game.

Newport eventually won the game on a shootout, 4-3, with goals

from Shannon Boler, Lexi Jenkins, Courtney McIntosh and Lauren Terry,

who saved the last shot on goal to preserve the win. Boler and Maria

Swift scored in regulation for the Breakers.

Boler and Josie Jogwe scored goals for Newport in its 2-1 victory

over Garden Grove in the tournament opener. The Breakers tied Tierra

Santo from San Diego, 1-1, in the second tournament game before

losing to eventual tournament-champion Mission Viejo in the third

round. But the Breakers still secured a second-place finish in pool

play and advanced to a medal-round game against Aliso.

Throughout the tournament the Breakers received strong play from

Swift at sweeper, Claire Castillo at center mid-field; Monique Conant

and Tempest Blaine at outside half; Jenkins, Kelly Rorden and Christy

Olhaver at marking back; McIntosh, Boler, Jogwe and Terry at striker

with Terry, Olhaver and Rorden sharing goaltending duties.

The Breakers begin area play Jan. 11.
