San Pedro Scores Three Goals in Overtime to Beat Chatsworth

The top-seeded San Pedro High girls’ soccer team advanced to the City Championship final after scoring three goals in overtime for a 6-3 victory over visiting Chatsworth on Wednesday.

Chatsworth (15-10-0), which had appeared in the last seven title games and 12 of the 13 since City girls’ soccer playoffs began in 1989, made a late bid for another final berth when Casey Dodd tied the score at 3-3 with a goal off a 35-yard free kick by Jenna Fodor with 30 seconds to go in regulation.

But San Pedro senior forward Jennifer Ramos converted what turned out to be the winning goal at the 85-minute mark in the first half of overtime.

The Pirates (21-3-2) also knocked out Chatsworth in the semifinals the other time the Chancellors failed to make the final (1994). It also avenged a loss in last season’s semifinals.

It was Ramos’ third goal of the game and ninth of the season after she missed half of Marine League play and all of the last two seasons because of two surgeries on her right knee.

The Pirates will face El Camino Real in the final at 1:15 p.m. Saturday at UCLA.
