Soccer Playoffs: Roundup of Friday Games

Locked in a scoreless duel with the clock ticking toward the final minutes of their Southern Section Division 1 quarterfinal, a couple of twins took over.

And you know what they say about twins. What one can start, the other can finish.

And so Santa Margarita sophomore Taylor Klawunder took a crossing pass from her twin sister Kaitlin and cut loose. Not only did Taylor blast the ball past goalkeeper Sarah Cox for a goal, but blasted top-seeded Corona del Mar right out of the playoffs. 

Santa Margarita's score with six minutes remaining was the difference in its 1-0 victory over Corona del Mar.

The single goal stood for the Eagles because Chelsea Carey and Taylor Wulf combined for six saves.

It's the sixth consecutive shutout for Santa Margarita (16-5-2), and the ninth in a string of 10 straight victories.

It's the third year in a row the Eagles will be in the semifinals, where they will face fourth-seeded Aliso Niguel. It will be the third road game in a row for Santa Margarita.

The loss was particularly biting for CdM (22-3-2), which lost in the quarterfinal round for the fourth consecutive year.

Aliso Niguel 3, Mater Dei 0: The fourht-seeded Wolverines (18-1-4) turned in a dominant road performance against Mater Dei as Breanna Chilton-Eddy scored twice and goalkeeper Sammy Jo Prud'homme gave Aliso its seventh shutout in its last eight games. Sarah Roberts added a third goal for Aliso, will play host to Santa Margarita on Tuesday.

San Clemente 1 (4), North Hollywood Harvard Westlake 1 (3):The Tritons won on penalty kicks, and did so on the road to advance to the semis.

Dana Hills 2, Orange Lutheran 0: The Dolphins will play at San Clemente after winning at home.

Division 6

St. Margaret's 0 (3), Segerstrom 0 (2): The Tartans advanced to the semifinals by winning a tough defensive game in penalty kicks. St. Margaret's will at second-seeded San Dimas, which scored a 2-1 victory over Loara.
