Hart Gets Best of Granada Hills

Midfielder Becca Gould scored with three minutes remaining to lift Hart High to a 2-1 victory over Granada Hills on Wednesday in an intersectional girls’ soccer game at Hart.

Forward Kellie Nordhagen dropped a pass back to a charging Gould, whose 25-yard shot slipped under the crossbar for the winning goal.

Hart (3-1) advanced to the Southern Section Division I title game last season. Granada Hills (3-1) lost in the City Section 4-A Division title game.

The Indians found themselves trailing, 1-0, at halftime after Sabrina Love scored for Granada Hills.

Hart pulled into a tie when Mandy Stupar scored off a pass from Allie Pavoni with 10 minutes to play.

“We played well but we couldn’t finish plays,” Hart Coach Oliver Germond said. “We pass too much. But it’s good to see we didn’t quit when we were handed a challenge.”
