Flintridge Sacred Heart falls in shootout
The Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy girls’ soccer team fell in a
shootout against Simi Valley Royal in Saturday’s quarterfinal match
of the 35th L.A. Watts Summer Games at Cerritos College.
Despite playing without returning players Hannah Hand, Natalie
Hodge, Erin Marshall and Kate Mitchell, and talented newcomers Lauren
Boustos and Courtney West, the Tologs still managed to tie the
Highlanders, 1-1, before falling on penalty kicks, 8-7.
It marked the second straight year Flintridge Sacred Heart bowed
out of the L.A. games via shootout, losing to Santa Monica in the
quarterfinals last summer.
Trailing, 1-0, after the first of two 25-minute halves, the Tologs
finally tied the match with 10 minutes remaining in regulation as
Katie Woods scored on an assist from returning News-Press All-Area
first-team honoree Jackie Fisher.
Both teams converted on their first seven penalty kicks, before
the Highlanders blocked Flintridge Sacred Heart’s attempt in the
eighth round.
