MISSION VIEJO, Calif.,-- In a contest that was all about the goalies, sophomore Andrew Noto saved 14 shots to lead Corona del Mar to a 12-4 victory over Capistrano Valley in a CIF-Southern Section game Friday night.
Sophomore middie Noah Molnar scored three goals and added one assist, junior middie Connor Pinkston, sophomore middie Casey Bush and sophomore attackman Dave Kidushim each scored twice, and junior attackman Mike Kidushim added one goal and one assist for the Sea Kings (5-1), who continued to impress.
Corona del Mar's only loss this season came against No. 18 St. Margaret's Episcopal in a one-goal thriller.
"It was a great win," Noto said. "Our team played great, and our defense made great clears."
In a losing effort, junior goalie Kevin Anderson saved 16 shots, junior middie Mike Campana scored three goals, senior attackman Scott Richardson scored once and junior middie Charlie Johnson dished an assist for the Cougars (3-2).
Corona del Mar led 6-0 lead with 7:18 remaining in the first half before Capo slipped in three unanswered goals in the final six minutes to make a game of it.
But the Sea Kings dominated the second half, holding the Cougars to one goal, as Noto made numerous saves to prevent Capistrano Valley's offense from scoring.
"We thought we were going to be able to handle them," Anderson said. "Our team just wasn't as conditioned as they were. In the third quarter, we were tired. And they still had steam left."
