Coming on strong

Newport Harbor High’s frosh-soph girls soccer team has a 3-4

record as of Jan. 5, scoring at least one goal in every game this

season.

The Sailors beat Mater Dei, 2-1, Jan. 3 and took fourth place in

the Edison Charger Cup two weeks ago.

Newport has scored 17 goals, three by team captain Lyndsi Foster,

while forwards Courtney Hanson, Malorie McMains and Amanda Laz have

each tallied multiple scores so far.

Consistency is an area the team still needs to work on, said Coach

Josh Ruderman, who has also gotten strong defensive play from Kristin

Baker and Stephanie DiSano.

Jessica Gavilan, Sienna Palmer and Hallie Mitchell have been solid

at midfield.
