It was every bit as close as the coaches expected, but Dana Hills picked up three key doubles wins, earning the CIF-SS Division 1 title 10-8 over University at the Claremont Club Monday.
More boys soccer news from the OCVarsity blog:
No. 4 University (Pacific Coast League Winner) vs. No. 3 Dana Hills (South Coast League Winner), Monday 10 a.m. at the Claremont Club in Claremont
Road to the finals: University def. JSerra 16-2; def. Tesoro 13-5; def. Thousand Oaks 11-7; def Campbell Hall11-7. Dana Hills def. Simi Valley 16-2; def. Mater Dei 16-2; def. Palm Desert 12-6; def. Peninsula 12-6.
Outlook: The top two teams in Orange County all season collide in a finals match that seemed improbable. University got through defending champion Campbell Hall after sweeping all nine doubles points. Dana Hills avenged its only loss of the season after jumping out to a 5-1 lead after one round against Peninsula. This is a classic matchup of strengths against weaknesses, with University’s outstanding doubles teams capable of winning all nine matches. When the two teams met earlier this season, Dana Hills won after sweeping all nine singles matches. The kicker here is that University’s singles play and Dana Hills’ doubles play have gotten much better. This should be a close one.
Two of the spots for the CIF-SS Southern Division playoffs have been set from the Pacific Coast League.
Corona del Mar and Beckman, who will battle it out Friday for the PCL title at Newport Harbor, are in the playoffs. Both teams are 4-0 in league.
But there is still a possibility of a three-way tie for third, according to University Coach Mark Cunningham
Irvine (2-2, 4-5) could lock up the third spot with a victory over Woodbridge (1-3, 4-5) Friday night at Irvine.
However, if University (1-3, 3-6) defeats Northwood (0-4, 2-7) Friday night and Woodbridge defeats Irvine, there would be a three-way tie for third and a coin flip to determine third, Cunningham said.
It appears that Woodbridge could still advance as an at-large team if it were to lose the coin flip since it would have a .500 record, which is required of at-large teams. Read the rest of this entry »
University senior swimmer Megan Rankin has committed to UCLA, said Brian Pajer, her club coach with the Irvine Aquazot.
Rankin finished second in the 200-yard free (1:47.85) and the 500 free (4:45.37) last May at the CIF Division 1 finals for the champion Trojans.
She also had a strong summer with the Aquazot, qualifying for the U.S. junior national team.
