Varsity girls soccer


Jaguar Fernanda Vaca Diez (No. 19) knocks in a goal against Griffins.
-- Jonatan Muñoz, International School
Vaca Diez' goals pace Jaguar victory over Griffins
From coaches’ reports
The Co-operative School’s varsity girls soccer team evenly spaced four goals over the course of the game, while holding the International School scoreless, to post a 4-0 win on their home field Tuesday.
Fernanda Vaca Diez scored twice for the Jaguars, who led 2-0 at halftime. Haily White and Tania Landivar each scored once for the winners. No penalty cards were issued in the game. The girl Jaguars have won the league trophy for the past three years, and appeared to establish themselves as favorites again this year. A gusty wind on the hot, hazy afternoon did not appear to be a factor.
The Jaguars third goal, scored some minutes into the second half, was probably the play most likely to make the film of the season’s highlights.
From the edge of the penalty area Landivar smacked a shot in the general direction of the goal. The ball caromed high in the air off the hip of a defender. The Griffin goalie, Laura Chavez, who had come out to defend, watched helplessly as the ball arced over her head, and bounced merrily into the netting.
Correction: Earlier reports incorrectly credited Tania Landivar with two goals, instead of Fernanda Vaca Diez.

Daniela Brooks tallies three
Eagles score easy win over Cambridge Knights
From coaches reports
Daniela Brooks achieved a "hat trick" as the Christian Learning girls varsity coasted to a 7-0 win over Cambridge on their home field Tuesday.
In addition to Brooks' three goals, Minina Apodaca knocked in two goals, while Roxy Jien and Sabrina Hallock scored one each.
The score at halftime was 3 - 0. In the second half Cambridge moved its hard-kicking goalie, Andrea Saba, up to the front line in hopes of generating more offensive firepower, and inserted its junior varsity goalie, but the tactic was not successful.
Cambridge was clearly missing the talents of Karla Ross, who scored all but one of its goals last season, and who has graduated.
