UPPER LAKE >> Overcoming a determined effort by the Lower Lake defense, the Clear Lake High School girls soccer team scratched out two second-half goals to beat the Trojans 2-0 in the semifinal round of the Tyler Duncan Memorial Tournament on Thursday in Upper Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The undefeated Lady Cardinals (4-0) play for the tournament championship against an opponent to be determined Saturday in Upper Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sellena Carbajal and Jeanette Luevano scored Clear Lake\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear Lake\u2019s defense registered its third shutout and has allowed just one goal in its first four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe defense is doing amazing work,\u201d Clear Lake head coach Gustavo Carbajal said. \u201cThe midfielders are doing a great job controlling the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carbajal also gave a shoutout to his two assistants, George Garcia and David O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think they should get credit for our amazing start this year,\u201d Carbajal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A moment of silence was held before the game as Lower Lake honored the brother of a teammate who was killed in an automobile accident Wednesday night. Players and coaches from both teams as well as game officials took part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville 3, Credo 0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Upper Lake, after being shut out by Clear Lake in their season opener, the Kelseyville Knights have shut out each of their last three opponents. Credo was the latest victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights (3-1) move on to the fifth-place game Saturday against an opponent to be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kylee Denham\u2019s first-half goal staked the Knights to a 1-0 halftime lead. Kelseyville added to its advantage in the second half, first on a goal by Melanie Jimenez assisted by Ximena Herren, and again on an unassisted Vanessa Reyes goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe second half was a battle from start to finish, with both teams playing hard and showing great defense,\u201d Kelseyville head coach Irma Rodriguez said. \u201cCredo played with determination and continued to pressure our defense, fighting hard for an opportunity to score.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Rodriguez, \u201cCredit goes to all our Lady Knights for their hard work, determination and willingness to fight together until the final whistle. We are very proud of how this team continues to grow together as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middletown 1, Willits 0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Upper Lake, captain Ally Cherry, a junior, nailed a left-footed shot midway through the second half to lift the Middletown Mustangs to a shutout victory over the Willits Wolverines in the Tyler Duncan Memorial Tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Lady Mustangs played a great game, dominating possession,\u201d Middletown head coach Cassi Clark said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark praised the play of freshman Dylann Mooney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe showed up strong on the defensive line, having her best game with the most touches to date,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mustangs (2-3) snapped a three-game losing streak. They play again Saturday in a final-round tournament game against an opponent to be determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
