Girls Soccer: West Ranch 1, Yorba Linda 0
The West Ranch girls soccer team won their first-round CIF playoff game at home Wednesday versus Yorba Linda, 1-0. The game was well-played on both sides but the Lady Wildcats broke through with a goal from Olivia Suarez right before halftime. The goal came on a set corner kick play with an assist from McKenna Lium. In the second half the West Ranch defense continued their strong play and preserved the victory. West Ranch traveled to face No. 1 seed Etiwanda on Friday for their second-round game.
