Seaweeds collect crown

The Corona del Mar seventh-grade girls soccer team won the Huntington

Beach/Newport-Mesa Middle School League title with a win in penalty

kicks over TeWinkle in the championship match.

Goalkeeper Corey Cano rejected five of TeWinkle’s eight penalty

shots for the CdM Seaweeds (7-1), while Claire Eadington rifled the

decisive shot into the back of the net.

CdM’s defense was led by Azadeh Nazemi, Hayley Raguse, Allegra

Margolis, Kelsey Kaczmerek and Eadington. Midfielders Paige Sigband,

Cynthia Bui, Kelly Feeley, Nikki Flinn and Bayli Steffl controlled

the tempo of the match while strikers Lauren Smits, Sarah Keddington,

Brooke Demiranda and Katie Demiranda (twins) mounted numerous attacks

on goal. Other players who were not able to make it to the game, but

contributed all season, include Madison Simmonds, Amanda Garrett and

Karoline Wang.

The win marked the first CdM seventh-grade girls soccer title,

according to Coach Bryan Middleton.

TeWinkle finished 6-2.
