The girls soccer team was able to overcome preseason complications and have a successful season.
With huge wins after the turnaround, the team kept its CIF bid, and was crowned Condor League Champions with a 5-1 league record and they went 7-4 overall.

In the pre-season, Laguna lost to Cate, but during the season they pounced all over the Lady Rams.
With a 2-1 lead at the half, seniors Elise Scheuermann and Becca Braly, along with freshman Madison Bonser, each scored goals.
Senior Fiona Jessup and sophomore Nadia Belton were key defensive players.

The girls also had a comeback victory against Thacher after trailing 0-1 at the half.

Big shooters senior McKenzie Scarborough, sophomore Tiana Bonn, and Becca Braly all scored to gain a 3-1 win.

The team went on to sail past Dunn in another Condor League match. After senior Ari Rodriguez’s goal from 25 yards out, the game was tied at 1-1. McKenzie scored two in a row, creating a 3-1 advantage and sealing the win for Laguna.

Fiona faithfully maintained her defensive position, limiting Dunn’s opportunities to score a goal.

The girls then played Thacher again, winning 3-1 after Becca’s early goal, Tiana’s goal in the next five minutes, and then another score by Becca.

Scoring two goals in the first half, the team raced past Dunn to earn a 3-0 victory and the Condor League title.

Thanks to superb defense from sophomore goalkeeper Mitsi Gamble and defender Fiona, the offensive players were able to score the goals they needed.  They now advance into their CIF season.

The girls play their first round against Oxford Academy in a home game on Feb. 17 at home.
