Code Red eliminated by Stars

California Futbol Club Code Red girls’ Under-13 bronze club team’s

run in the Coast Soccer League Cup tournament came to an end with the

3-1 loss to the Claremont Stars at San Bernardino.

Down 1-0, Code Red came back to tie the game just before the half

on a long shot by Ashley Haprov, which sailed just out of the

goalie’s reach and into the net.

The teams exchanged volleys in second half action, but two quick

goals in the last few minutes by the Stars enabled them to clinch the

3-1 win.

Code Red, coached by Ron Budd and Dale Hensley, will next compete

at the State Cup Tournament in February.

Code Red captured first-place in the Bronze Division of the

tournament, then qualified for the Round of 32 by virtue of allowing

the fewest amount of goals in round two action.

They entered the round of 32 after fighting the Wolfpack to a 1-1

tie. Late in the game, Code Red’s Lauren Hanson trapped Alison

Hensley’s corner kick, turned and delivered the ball into the corner

of the net to tie the game at 1-1.

the score.

a penalty kick rebound and on a breakaway -- both goals coming just

before the halftime break.

The lead grew to 4-1 in a face-paced second half on Khoury’s

second goal of the match.

The Hawaiian Hotties, who finished the season in fourth-place in

the division, narrowed the gap to 4-2 when Kayla Wigney scored off a

Katie Gainous punched a goal into the net off an assist from Ariel
