Dec. 7—Prep girls soccer

Yuba City wins Feather River tournament

The Honkers won their first seven games, capped by a 3-1 win over Foothill in the finals of the Oroville Feather River 16-team tournament last weekend.

YC outscored opponents, 20-8 behind seven different goal scorers.

Ava Guzman, Briana Aguilar Conrique, Helen Repka, Brianna Henley, Brooke Peter and Lorelai Miller, who led with 13 goals, all netted scores during the tournament. YC opened Saturday with an 8-6 win over LIve Oak.

"The girls all played their hearts out making for an outstanding overall team effort and I couldn't be prouder of how the girls played despite the weather, YC head coach Jerry Schicht said. "They played great soccer and you wouldn't have known by their play just how bad the weather was. Every player was essential and contributed to the first place finish."
