Corona del Mar controls Laguna Beach

The Corona del Mar High girls soccer team controlled most of the

action in Thursday’s 2-1 Pacific Coast League victory over visiting

Laguna Beach.

Junior Jessica Mazura had a shot blocked, but sophomore

KalieTrider put in the rebound in the ninth minute for CdM (9-8, 4-1

in league).

Laguna Beach answered with a break away goal in the 20th minute,

but that was one of only three shots on goal mustered by the

Breakers.

The Sea Kings regained the lead when Mazura’s cross pass was

controlled and shot into the back of the net by junior Taylor Fallon

in the 25th minute.

Senior goalkeeper Katie Sciesser had two saves while fullback

Tanisha Senertne provided solid defense and leadership.

CdM plays at Tesoro Tuesday at 3:15 p.m.
