Newport shines in tournament

The Newport Harbor High field hockey team outscored four opponents a

combined 4-1 Saturday, but settled for two wins, one loss and a tie

at the Westminster tournament at Westminster High.

The Sailors opened the round-robin tournament -- that featured

25-minute games -- with a 1-0 loss to Camarillo.

The Tars defeated Sunset League rival Huntington Beach, 3-0,

before knocking off Chaminade, 1-0, and tying Glendora, 0-0.

Senior midfielder Reese Simmons scored two goals against

Huntington Beach, while senior right wing Julia Bernay added the

third goal against the Oilers.

Junior forward Sienna Palmer had an assist in the 3-0 triumph.

Against Chaminade, senior midfielder Jenny Taylor had the game’s

only goal.

Newport Harbor goalie Ciara Lawrence, a senior, had seven saves

against Camarillo, one against Huntington Beach and two against

Glendora on her way to three shutouts on the day. She played every

minute in goal for the Sailors (3-1-2).

Other Sailors who earned praise for their strong play were: senior

Ashley McIntosh, who sparked the midfield; senior forward Amanda

Fallon; and junior center back Jackie Taylor.
