Cliffords lose tiebreaker

The California Crazy Cliffords, a girls under-12 soccer team from

Corona del Mar in AYSO Region 57, tied two other teams at the top of

their pool-play bracket in the Area 11Q Tournament of Champions. But

the Cliffords were eliminated from further competition by one point

when records were matched and tournament officials had to go to a

“goals vs. goals against” tiebreaker.

The tournament consisted of teams from Costa Mesa, Newport Beach,

Tustin, Yorba Linda and Mission Viejo.

In other Region 57 play:

championship game but lost in the finals to Long Beach at the Costa

Mesa Classic last weekend.

Amy Youngman allowed only one goal the entire tournament.
