Freshman Danielle Warde scored in the final two minutes to break a tie and give Edison an 8-7 Sunset League victory over Esperanza at the Newport Harbor High pool.

The teams were tied at 4-4 at the half before Edison shut down Esperanza in the third quarter to take a 7-4 lead, but the Aztecs fought back to tie the score one last time at 7-7.

“I think we might have gotten a little overconfident after the third quarter,” Edison Coach Diggy Riley said. “We eased up and it cost us. Fortunately, we were able to hang on to win the game.”

Sophomore Monique Wilson turned in a strong performance for the Chargers with four goals, two steals and two assists. Warde scored two goals to go along with two assists and two steals. Junior Jamie Bee had three steals and scored once, senior Joanna Tiplea scored a goal and senior goalie Amelia Huss had 12 saves.
