Baldoni, Jones tee it up in big victory

Our Lady Queen of Angels fifth- and sixth-grade girls soccer team

scored three goals in the first 10 minutes of the match and went on

to defeat TeWinkle, 7-0, Thursday in Pool D of the Daily Pilot Cup at

the Costa Mesa Farm Complex.

TeWinkle was outmanned from the beginning, with no reserve players

on the bench, while Queen of Angels had 11 reserves making for

plentiful substitutions.

Coach John Carvelli substituted freely, five girls at a time,

keeping the team fresh. The squad, which is split evenly between

fifth and sixth graders, has only two members who haven’t played

organized soccer before. The rest of the team has played AYSO or club

soccer, and it showed, in crisp outlet passes and crosses in front of

the box.

On the other side of the field, TeWinkle had several players who

didn’t have cleats and were forced to wear sneakers, leading to many

of them slipping and falling during the game. But they refused to

give up, despite obvious fatigue at the end of the match.

Kate Baldoni and Mackenzie Jones led the dominant offensive attack

for Queen of Angels, each scoring two goals and adding an assist.

Marta Tena, Megan Otterbein and Valen Taylor also scored. Queen of

Angels, which went to the final four last year, led 5-0 at the half.

Goalkeepers Stephanie Nealey and Victoria Kent didn’t have to make

a save in the game, as the Queen of Angels’ defense was stellar.

Jackie Smith, Marianne Jones, Sarah Carvelli and Valerie Taylor led

the defense.
