Share
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES

After 100 minutes of play Friday night, girls’ soccer teams from Claremont and Huntington Beach Marina had to satisfy themselves with a 1-1 tie and a co-championship in the Southern Section Division I title game at Gahr High in Cerritos.

Jennifer Bivens gave Claremont an early lead, scoring off a corner kick at 10:55. But Amy Peterson tied the score for Marina at the 18:13 mark.

Scoring opportunities were few for both squads the rest of the way. Peterson had the best chance midway through the second half, but the senior striker was stopped at point-blank range by Claremont goalie Andi Janousek.
