Girls Division 5 Top Ten Update

Week ending 1/23

Dear Fellow Coaches of D5 Girls,

 

What a season it has been!  As we enter week 9 of the season some teams have made their statements and others are fighting for that coveted playoff berth.  At times we have wondered if we should trade in our cleats for a swimsuit but in some cases the rain has worked in the favor for some teams.

 

Not a whole lot of movement in the top ten due to a week of rain.  The Pioneer League got some games in, the biggest one being the South (#1 Pioneer) vs. El Segundo (#2 Pioneer) game with South winning 1-0 in pouring rain.  That caused the shift of El Segundo dropping and Oak Park (#2 Tri-Valley) rising.  Oak Park has their work cut out for them to maintain their spot this week with rescheduled games with La Reina (#3 Tri Valley) on Saturday and St. Bonaventure (#3 Tri- Valley) on Friday along with two other games against Fillmore and Nordoff earlier in the week.  South also beat Torrance this week 2-0.

 

Oaks Christian (#1 Tri-Valley) remains solidly in the #1 spot but has a trying week with 4 games on tap with La Reina and St. Bonaventure back to back Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

A tell tale game this week is the Notre Dame (#2 Sunshine) vs. Ramona Convent (#1 Sunshine) game on Thursday at Ramona Convent.  The Sunshine League has always been a strong force in division 5 with the likes of Notre Dame Academy and Marymount.  But it is this year's dark horse, Ramona Convent, that is making things interesting in the Sunshine League this season.  It is a must win game for Notre Dame Academy to keep themselves in one of the coveted top 4 spots.

 

Ramona Convent and Marymount hold the steady 6 and 7 position for a 3rd straight week, Maranatha (#1 Olympic) holds at 8 for the 2nd straight week but the Olympic League should become interesting in the next ten days or so as they get through some important rain out games.

 

St.  Bonaventure moves into 9th with Warren (#1 SGVL).  St. Bonaventure won both their league games this week and gear up for a game with Oak Park on Friday.  Warren plays league rival Downey (#1 SGVL) on Tuesday .

 

Lakeside (Sunbelt #1) remains at 10 with an idle week but has 3 league games this week.  They continue to be a force in their area.

 

4 bubble teams this week.  All 4 teams need wins to boost them, Downey being the leader of the pack followed by La Reina, Valley Christian (#2 Olympic) and Torrance (#3 Pioneer).

 

We are still looking for league coordinators from the Golden West League and the Rio Hondo League.  If you or anyone you know is interested, please have them contact me.  Good luck this week!

 

Respectively Submitted,

Kim Looney

Girls Div. 5 - South Torrance Champions

South Torrance 1 Valley Christian 0 (G.G.)

In an open and entertaining battle, #2 South Torrance overcame a spirited #7 Valley Christian team, with a Lauren Hein goal in the first period of golden goal over-time.  Both teams had chances during the match, with the last 20 minutes of regulation being an excellent showcase of attacking soccer.

Valley Christian rose to the occasion and had several opportunities to win the game.  They were denied by one of the division’s top defenses, posting their 23^rd shut-out for the season.  An excellent save by keeper Audrey Medlock denied Valley Christian their best opportunity in the last moments of the first half, while the woodwork saved Valley Christian in the first 5 seconds of the game after a long-range Lauren Hein shot.

The game stood tied at 0-0 after regulation and both teams came out attacking in over-time. South Torrance caught a break down the left side of the field, and a deflected through ball, found its way to Lauren Hein in the 3^rd minute.  She took the ball in her stride and shot from the top of the box into the roof of the net to score the winner. 

It was her 32^nd goal of an amazing senior year, and a follow-up to the last-minute winner she scored to defeat Oaks Christian in the semi-final.
