Tournament of Champions title.<\/p>\n<p>The journey continues Wednesday, as the Sailors are at Glendora at 3:30 p.m. in a semifinal match.<\/p>\n<p>Newport Harbor Coach Amanda Boyer, whose team shut out Chaminade,  2-0, in a first-round match Monday, said the Tars are playing well.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;They have the potential to  win the whole thing,&#8221; Boyer said. &#8220;I have the confidence in them. It&#8217;s  just a matter of them having the confidence in themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Junior Taury Hlinka and senior Courtney McIntosh (penalty stroke)  scored in the first-round win. Boyer said Newport Harbor played good  team defense and passed well.<\/p>\n<p>Beating Glendora will not be easy. The Sailors (18-4-2) played  Glendora to a scoreless tie on the road on Sept. 15. Glendora, which  like Newport Harbor has a grass home field instead of field-turf, is the  Sunset League north division champion.<\/p>\n<p>Boyer said Glendora plays a really wide game and is quick to the ball.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;ll be a tough matchup,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Harvard-Westlake plays at Huntington Beach at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the  other TOC semifinal. The championship match of the eight-team  tournament is at 3 p.m. Thursday at Edison.<\/p>\n<p>Newport Harbor has advanced to the title match nine of the past 10  years. Each of the title-game wins the last three years have been  against rival Huntington Beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sailors continue run in semifinals Defending champion Newport Harbor, which has won three straight TOC titles, will play at Glendora Wednesday.
