GIRLS’ SOCCER

La Sierra 3, Estancia 0

RIVERSIDE — Estancia went scoreless in the pouring rain and saw its season end after the CIF Southern Section Division IV wild-card game Wednesday.

“They had more than we could handle,” said Estancia Coach Jessica Gatica, who team ended the season at 9-9-6.

Estancia, which finished fourth in the Orange Coast League, had lost to La Sierra, 1-0, on Dec. 10.

Estancia played without senior co-captain Christy Brown, who was on an academic trip. Freshman Alba Barrios, arguably Estancia’s top defender, missed the game too because of a knee injury suffered in Monday’s practice, Perry said.

“We missed her for sure,” Perry said.

Estancia senior goalie Ferny Perez was also out with a broken finger, and freshman Caitlin Leahy played in her place, Perry said.
