Corner kicks lift CdM

Taylor Fallon headed the ball inside the far post after a corner

kick by Kelly Morgan to tie the score, 1-1, in the 32nd minute.

winning goal in the 57th minute.

Newport nips Hawks

* SOCCER: Erin Hardy and Krystal Wright each scored one goal,

which was all the Newport Harbor High girls soccer team needed to

claim a 2-1 victory over Laguna Hills for its first Sea View League

victory this season at Mission Viejo High Tuesday.

Hardy took control after a deflection and scored from seven yards

out to give the Sailors a 1-0 lead one minute, seven seconds in.

lines for Newport (2-12-2, 1-2-1 in league).

Calvary handles CdM

* BASKETBALL: Sophomore Katie Schulte tallied 14 points, three rebounds and three assists, but it was not enough as the host Calvary

Chapel girls basketball team earned a 57-46 Pacific Coast League

victory over Corona del Mar.

Chelsea DeLuca scored a game-high 22 points and eight rebounds.

She scored 11 in the fourth quarter as Calvary outscored CdM, 24-11.

CdM had expounded lots of energy during a 19-7 third-quarter run of

its own after a lackadaisical, Sea Kings Coach James Barkalow said.

Sophomore Megan Benbow scored 11 points while Sarah Stern tallied

nine for CdM (6-11, 1-3 in league).
