We\u2019re glad we\u2019re playing for a championship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huntington Beach defeated Edison, 2-1, in their first meeting on Jan. 22.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the loss, the Sailors (12-6-4) will still receive a guaranteed spot in the CIF-SS playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a heavyweight fight,\u201d Newport Harbor coach Justin Schroeder said. \u201cIt felt like a playoff game. It was about what I expected from them. They have some kids who are really strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sailors goalkeeper Tatum Trout and Chargers goalkeeper Aliyah Chappell both made fine saves, but the Sailors finally broke through when Cassie Jacoby took a short cross pass from Cary De Vengoechea and scored in the 74th minute.<\/p>\n<p>Two minutes later, Dollins scored off of a pass from Audrey Scrimgeour.<\/p>\n<p>The play began with an Edison corner kick that bounced around in front of the goal until Scrimgeour settled the ball and tapped it back to Dollins, who knocked it into the net.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAudrey was sitting at the top of the box and turned around and I was screaming for the ball and she just tapped it back to me,\u201d Dollins said. \u201cDefinitely an adrenaline rush. I don\u2019t remember much of it, but it was exhilarating. It\u2019s great to do it for the entire team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scoring on penalty kicks for Edison were Hayven Medeiros-Schomberg, Harlow Tarne, Ayla Khoshkbariie, Marissa Devine and Maya Devine.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring on penalty kicks for the Sailors were Jacoby, Mia Knox, De Vengoeche and Ansofie Stringham.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edison\u2019s Marissa Devine (25) keeps the ball ahead of Newport Harbor\u2019s Reese Pluma (16) during their Sunset League&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,3335,48,171954,59324,4309,62459,561,82],"class_list":["post-450709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-canada","tag-high-school-all-sports","tag-high-school-soccer","tag-high-school-sports","tag-orange-county","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
