With the CIF scholastic soccer playoffs off and running, several area teams are still kicking. On the girls side, top-seeded Bishop\u2019s School opened the playoffs last week with a 6-0 win (Kaylie Davidson two goals, one assist) over River Valley in Division IV play. Bishop\u2019s followed up that win with a 6-0 shutout of Mater Dei, with Lindsey Holman-Kelley recording a hat trick. Bishop\u2019 (13-4-3) was to play its next game on Wednesday, March 4 with a trip to the finals on the line. Elsewhere in Division IV, La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School saw its season end with a 2-0 loss to Mater Dei. In Division II first-round action, University City High scored a 2-0 win over Bonita Vista, with Nicci Bermudes and Katherine Sawyer tallying goals. Alexis Curtiss recorded the shutout for the Lady Centurions with three saves. University City High (9-9-4) ended its season in the next round with a 2-1 loss to Mt. Carmel. In Division III action, La Jolla High got goals from five different players en route to a 5-1 win over Valley Center in its opening playoff game. La Jolla (10-3-1) was to play its next game on Wednesday, March 4 with a win needed to reach the championship game. On the boys side, The Bishop\u2019s School moved on to Division IV semifinal action after posting a 3-2 win over The Preuss School last week. Kyle Jester tallied a pair of goals for the Knights, with Tyler Evans adding the other. In other Division IV action last week, LJCD saw its season come to an end in a surprising 3-2 loss to Holtville High. After battling to a 1-1 first-half score (LJCD goal by Zach Wolfenzon off an assist by Rodrigo Cuenca), the Torreys fell behind 3-1 in the second half. LJCD (17-5-3) rallied to within a goal when Wolfenzon scored his 26th goal of the season, but was unable to get the equalizer. “This was a heartbreaking defeat, as we controlled the middle of the field and outshot Holtville by a huge margin,” LJCD head coach Jerry Fleischhacker noted. LJCD opened CIF play with an 8-0 victory over Tri-City Christian. Ryan French paced the Torreys with three goals, while Wolfenzon added two goals and an assist. Cuenca and Alex Poyhonen each earned a goal and an assist. Poyhonen\u2019s 15-point total makes him the ninth Torreys player to reach the 100-point mark for his career. Five seniors \u2014 Wolfenzon, Poyhonen, Colin Young, Kees Thompson and Mason Boxer-Capitano \u2014 ended their four-year varsity careers at LJCD with a 68-22-14 record (including 54-15-6 against Division IV competition). “They will be sorely missed,” Fleischhacker added. Elsewhere, in what more likely resembled a baseball score, La Jolla High dropped its Division III playoff encounter with Central High (El Centro) by an 8-7 tally. La Jolla finishes its season at 7-7-5.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
