OC Come From Behind to Qualify for Another Championship Game

Tue, Feb 27th - The Lions traveled to West L.A. College to play host Notre Dame Academy for the CIF SS D5 Semifinal. NDA scored early to take a one goal advantage. But it was clear that NDA's advantage was not going to hold up long. OC was getting the looks and the goals were going to come. Typical for OC especially in this last season surge the Lions dominated the second half and did not let NDA have any chances. Kelly Johnson took a pass from Kristen Clark and buried it in the back if the net for the equalizer. In the closing minutes Kelsea Smith followed being fouled with a direct kick goal game winner to seal NDA's fate. NDA foght to the end giving one last surge and a great upper coner shot, but Noelle Salter slapped it over the cross bar with her finger tips. That was it, OC will play in the CIF SS D5 Finals for the fourth time in five seasons. Go Lions!!!
