Sailors win, 1-0

COSTA MESA - Newport Harbor’s Paige Thompson connected with an

unassisted goal in the second half and freshman goalie Chloe Cox made it

stand up as the Sailors recorded a 1-0 nonleague girls field hockey

victory over Harvard of Westlake Thursday afternoon at Harper School.

Thompson’s goal was off a rebound from the Harvard goalkeeper.

The Sailors outshot Harvard from the field, 10-4, in a decision shared

by many, especially Elizabeth Evans, Bitta Jansma and Kelly Kraus, who

all came in for praise from their coach, Sharon Wolfe.

Cox, filling in for senior Susan Lear, who has been ill, had two solid

saves to preserve the shutout.

Newport improves to 4-1-2 overall. Harvard valls to 1-4-1.
