SOCCER

St. Francis 4, Arroyo Grande 0--The Golden Knights scored all four goals in a 12-minute span in the first half to take the boys’ Southern Section Division III crown at Gahr High.

Pete Vagenas scored twice and Eric Johnson and Kris Cash once each, as St. Francis won its first section title.

La Canada 5, Corona 1--Gaston Haupert had a goal and an assist, leading the Spartans to the Southern Section Division IV title at Gahr High.

La Canada (25-0) extended its section records for consecutive victories (50) and goals scored in a season (145).

“I don’t think there was a better player on the field today than Gaston,” said La Canada Coach Lou Bilowitz, who has won three section titles in a nine-year tenure.

Thirteen of the Spartans’ 18 players are seniors and seven of them, including Haupert, have signed to play NCAA Division I soccer next season.

GIRLS

Kim Pickup and Jackie Fodor scored two goals each, leading Chatsworth High to a 6-0 victory over San Pedro in the girls’ City 4-A soccer championship at East L.A. College.

Chatsworth (19-0-1) won its sixth City soccer title in eight years. San Pedro finished 15-7-1.

“This is by far the best team we’ve ever had,” Chatsworth Coach Jack Sidwell said after the Chancellors had outscored their three playoff opponents, 25-0. “They’re very talented and unselfish and willing to do whatever it takes to win.”

The Chancellors scored three first-half goals, the first coming when Pickup, who performs a front-flip for power before every throw-in, directed a sideline toss past San Pedro goalie Mia Ciketic.

“I’ve been doing that flip since I was 10,” Pickup said. “It’s a great way to get more distance on the throw. This is the first time I’ve ever scored on it in a high school game though.”

Fodor, a freshman, scored from 10 yards out and Michelle George added a breakaway goal for a 3-0 lead.

Pickup, Fodor and Corinne Briers added breakaway goals in the second half.
