Share via

Senior striker Sadie Pitchess helped the Newport Harbor High girls’ soccer team rally for a dramatic 1-1 (4-1 on penalty kicks) victory over Aliso Niguel on Saturday night in the North Orange County Classic “ABCD” Division title match at Newport Harbor.

Pitchess scored in stoppage time in the second half to force penalty kicks, as her strike from 30 yards out skid off the turf and through the legs of the Aliso Niguel goalkeeper. Reese Bodas, Jenna McConnaughey, Skylynn Rodriguez and Pitchess each made penalty-kick goals, while Sailors goalkeeper Jessica Gardner made one save.

It’s the first NOCC title in program history for Newport Harbor, coach Justin Schroeder said.
