Ally Brahs and Harbor Day’s third- and fourth-grade girls soccer team

continued their scoring onslaught in the Daily Pilot Cup with a 5-2

quarterfinal win over St. John the Baptist Saturday at the Costa Mesa

Farm Complex.

The Harbor Day Seahawks scored their five goals in the first half.

Brahs, who netted a hat trick Friday, scored two goals, while

teammate Kathryn Conner collected a hat trick Saturday.

Brahs has scored nine goals in the Pilot Cup, thus far, helping

Harbor Day advance to today’s semifinal at 9:30 a.m.

The Seahawks went up, 2-0, after Kathryn Conner scored two goals

on breakaways and added another. Then Brahs finalized the scoring for

the winners.

Harbor Day also received solid play in the midfield from Kaylee

O’Connor and goalkeeper Jessica Beyer recorded a sensational save off

a penalty kick in the second half.

St. John the Baptist, coached by Angelo Lubino, scored twice in

the second half on goals by Megan Crosson. Both goals were assisted

by Brooke Lux.

Charlotte Gadbois and Sarah Cox also had assists for the Seahawks,

while Corinne Damon contributed on defense.

“The defense was superb,” said Harbor Day Co-Coach Jim Conner, who

shared duties with Paul O’Connor.
