Seahawks rally past Mesa, 4-2

It was a tale of two halves for the Costa Mesa High boys soccer

team Monday as the host Mustangs enjoyed a 1-0 halftime lead, but

Ocean View rallied for four goals in the second half to earn a 4-2

Golden West League decision.

David Barnett scored in the 27th minute for Costa Mesa to give

Coach Antonio Salinas’ Mustangs an edge after 40 minutes. But the

Seahawks scored two goals early in the second half and led the rest

of the way. Jaime Martinez had two goals for Ocean View.

“In the first half, we played very, very well,” said Salinas,

whose team fell to 0-3 in league, 0-10-1 overall. “But in the second

half we played like we’ve never played before in this league. We just

played with a lack of confidence and lack of focus.”

In the 74th minute, Costa Mesa’s Luis Villanueva scored on an

assist from Alfonso Pineda for the game’s final goal.

The Mustangs will travel to Orange Friday for a Golden West League

game at 3 p.m.

Lions edge Eagles in double overtime

In another Golden West League game, the host Westminster Lions

defeated Estancia, 3-2, in double overtime Monday.

The Eagles’ Luis Mendoza scored in the 43rd minute, then teammate

Jason Cassidy scored in the 74th minute to give Estancia a 2-1 lead.

But Westminster (6-2, 2-0 in league) tied the game with two minutes

left in regulation and won it in the second overtime period on Marcos

Ramirez’s goal. Estancia fell to 3-4-1, 0-1-1 in league.

to 5-2-1.
