   Saint Monica High School Women’s Soccer team recorded its third consecutive Camino Real League shutout with a 6-0 road win over Bell-Jeff High, followed by its fourth consecutive league victory with a 4-1 home victory over Saint Mathias High.
   At Bell-Jeff on Tuesday, Priscilla Padilla and Shahrzad Sadrpour had two goals each. Diane Hubbell and Hortencia Lechuga recorded the other scores. Courtney Hubbell had an assist. St. Monica goalie Veronica Alfieri was quite bored having to make only one save, as the Mariner defense led by Ivori Harewood, Anne Mureau, and Britini Wylan kept the ball on enemy territory for most of the match. The Mariners had 27 shots on goal, 20 in the first half alone.
   Following a day off from competition, the Lady Mariners hosted Saint Mathias High School in their fourth league game. Alfieri made three saves and helped keep Saint Mathias away from the goal with booming punts. Lechuga scored two goals, Courtney Hubbell had one goal and two assists, and Sadrpour had the remaining goal.
  Saint Monica’s lady kickers have scored 23 goals and had one against in their first four league contests. The Mariners return to action on Friday, January 25, versus Mary Star High School on Saint Monica’s home field, Memorial Park. Kickoff will be at 3:15 p.m.
