Aliso Niguel 1 NEWPORT BEACH — The Sailors scored two second half goals to break a 1-1 tie and upset Aliso Niguel, the No. 6-ranked team in CIF Southern Section Division I, Thursday.

Junior Emily Ohlhaver, senior Alex Conley and sophomore Kayla Henrie each scored a goal. Junior Crystal Mena was also key in setting up goals with her lengthy throw ins.

“That was the best Christmas present they could have given me,” Sailors Coach Josh Brooks said.

Senior Mary Giberson made eight saves for the Sailors (5-3-1). Newport Harbor next plays El Toro Wednesday.

Corona del Mar 3,

Laguna Beach 0

CORONA DEL MAR — Alex Tobiessen, AJ Rome and Alexandra Elias scored one goal each in the Sea Kings’ nonleague win on Thursday.

In the first half, Anna Fletcher won a ball at midfield and passed it up ahead to Tobiessen, who connected just inside the 18-yard box.

Later, in the second half, Rome collected the ball from 25 yards out and planted a left-footed shot into the upper right corner.

Goalie Corey Cano and Lexi Henson contributed to Corona del Mar’s final goal. After Cano’s punt traveled about 60 yards, Henson flicked it to Elias, who scored from the top of the 18 in the 70th minute.

Cano recorded four saves for the Sea Kings (3-5-4). Laguna Beach dropped to 4-4-1.

CdM Coach Bryan Middleton said the win was a great way to end the pre-league season. The Sea Kings open Pacific Coast League action Jan. 9, when they play at Beckman.

“My girls played physically, which we had been lacking,” Middleton said. “They finally played to their potential.”
