Shootouts Decide Two Foothill Quarterfinals

Two quarterfinal contests came down to penalty-kick shootouts and the Southland’s No. 1 team lost its first game of the year Tuesday during the second day of the Santa Ana Foothill girls’ soccer tournament.

Second-ranked San Clemente beat No. 3 Santa Margarita, 3-1, on penalty kicks after tying, 2-2. La Costa Canyon knocked off No. 1 Huntington Beach Edison, 1-0.

After trailing, 1-0, seniors Makenzie Beahm and Chelsea Card scored within minutes of each other to give San Clemente a 2-1 lead. Santa Margarita forward Amy Rodriguez scored the second of her two goals with less than five minutes to play in regulation, but Santa Margarita had little success against goalkeeper Shayla Sabin in the extra session.

“Shayla stepped up big,� San Clemente Coach Stacey Finnerty said. “We practice penalty shots because we know it would come down to this one of these games.�

San Clemente faces La Costa Canyon in one semifinal. In the other semifinal, Los Alamitos takes on Mission Viejo Capistrano Valley. Los Alamitos beat Ventura Buena, 2-0, and Capistrano Valley won, 3-1, on penalty kicks against No. 6 Arcadia after a 1-1 draw.

Both semifinals begin at 9:30 a.m. The championship game is at 2:30 p.m.
