Otay Ranch: 2nd Place

Newport Harbor Varsity Field Hockey (8-1-1) traveled to Chula Vista for the second weekend of the Otay Ranch Field Hockey Tournament. The Sailors beat Mt. Carmel 3-0 in the quarter-final game. The first goal came from a penalty stroke taken by Jordan Blanchfield. Emily Vaughan then had a hard cross to Blanchfield to secure the lead with a second goal. The third goal was off a penalty corner hit in by Blanchfield and scored by Vaughan.

Newport beat Cathedral Catholic 3-0 with goals by Caroline Gels assisted by Blanchfield, and two more goals by Blanchfield. Goalkeeper Erika Nilsson had one diving save.

Newport fell 0-3 to San Pasqual in the championship game. Nilsson was busy defending the cage with 18 saves. Coach Amanda Boyer noted excellent defensive play by Peyton Groves, Mia Bagiu, Kim Comet, and Jackie Singer.

A big thank you to Katie Hendrix and Georgia Yokoyama for helping the Varsity team out! And one more shoutout to all of the family and friends who made the long (hot!) trek down south to show your support!
