Yuba City 3, Antelope 0

The Honkers closed out their home regular season with a shutout of Antelope last week. The win moved YC to 14-5-3 overall and 3-5-3 in the Capital Valley Conference — good enough for fifth place in league.

Lorelai Miller, of YC, had a hat trick to finish out her final regular season home game with a career 43 goals following the performance against Antelope.

Miller was one of eight seniors, joining Jade Smith, Lucia Tondelli, Cecilia Licea, Jennifer Rios, Lupita Flores, Tayler Gomez and team manager Charity Wolfe, honored as a part of senior night.

"I will miss all our outstanding seniors and they have had a profound effect on the program and the other players, leaving a lasting legacy that will carry us forward into the future," YC coach Jerry Schicht said. "I thank players and parents for their commitment to the program for the past four years and they will all be sorely missed. This group has a lot to be proud of including helping to create a positive culture and leading YC to the best league and overall records in many years."

YC finds out if it makes the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs Friday when the boys and girls brackets are released.
