High School Roundup: CdM boys’ lacrosse upsets Mater Dei, advances to CIF Division 1 final

Lucas Newton recorded three goals and two assists to lead the Corona del Mar High School boys’ lacrosse team to a 9-5 victory over top-seeded Mater Dei on Tuesday in a CIF Southern Section Division 1 semifinal at home.

The Sea Kings pulled off the upset to avenge a regular season loss to the Monarchs on April 2, which was decided by a count of 14-8. Fourth-seeded Corona del Mar (18-3) will face No. 2-seeded Foothill (19-4), a 10-8 winner over St. Margaret’s in its semifinal, in the championship match on Friday at Downey High School at 7:30 p.m.

Logan Ip and Jack Dickson each scored two goals for CdM. Ryan Schafer added a goal and an assist, and Nicolas Peloso also had a goal. Scott Westrick, Oliver Ayala and Peyton Tingley had one assist apiece, and Grant Giuliano made 11 saves for the Sea Kings.

“I am so proud of this group of kids,” CdM coach G.W. Mix remarked via text. “They are a humble and determined bunch of kids who grew up playing together in their local community. It’s so special to see them in these big moments playing so hard for each other. Public school lacrosse is so meaningful. You can’t buy it, and you can’t beat it.”
