SOCCER ROUNDUP : Torrey Pines Makes Final Again

Torrey Pines goalie Larkin Chases chalked up her 18th shutout of the season.

Alyson Ross scored 10 minutes into the first half. Helix gave the Falcons (21-2-2) a little trouble toward the end of the first, but Torrey Pines was able to regain control in the second.

Christy Peters, on as assist by Ashley Hanson, closed it the scoring in the 64th minute. Helix finished with a 14-5-4 record.
