Barry Carries Ventura in Regional

Joy Barry scored two minutes into overtime Tuesday, lifting Ventura College to a 2-1 victory over Orange Coast in a first-round game of the Southern California Regional women’s soccer playoffs.

Barry converted a pass from Fiona Macdonald, allowing the Pirates (22-2-2) to avoid a repeat of last season, when Orange Coast (16-3-4) upset Ventura in a first-round game.

Emma Collision gave sixth-seeded Orange Coast a 1-0 halftime lead before Krista Van Nieuwberg’s goal with 18 minutes remaining in regulation produced a 1-1 tie.

Third-seeded Ventura, which has won the Western State Conference the past two seasons, advances to play second-seeded Cypress, a 1-0 winner over Santa Barbara on Tuesday.

Regional semifinals are scheduled for Saturday but Ventura assistant Trisha Butterbaugh said the schools have a tentative agreement to play at Cypress on Friday night.

Ventura is 1-1 against Cypress this season and needs a victory to reach the state championships, which Ventura will host Nov. 29-30.
