Sports Roundup: Flintridge Prep girls’ soccer falls in tournament championship
GIRLS’ SOCCER
Flintridge Prep in Best of the West Tournament: The Rebels came up just short in the EFGH Bracket Championship versus Newport Harbor and suffered their first defeat this season, 3-2, at Whittier California High on Saturday.
“It was good competition and we were able to find success as far as winning games,” Flintridge Prep Coach Esteban Chavez said. “The Newport game was funny.
“We were down, 3-1, at halftime and probably should have scored four or five goals in the second half on top of the one goal we did score. I’m not joking. We just couldn’t finish and that happens sometimes.”
Jenna Mijares and Mona Cesario scored a goal each for the Rebels (9-1-1), who finished 3-1 in the tournament.
Flintridge Prep began the day with a 2-0 victory over California. Molly Scott and Julia Gonzalez scored goals.
