Week in review

 In a key Pacific League boys’ soccer game between rivals Crescenta Valley and Glendale highs, David Orozco scored with less than two minutes left in the match to give Crescenta Valley a 1-1 road tie against Glendale at Moyse Field. Haykaz Sargsyan scored on a penalty kick earlier to give the Nitros a 1-0 lead. Both teams remain in contention for winning the league championship with two weeks left in the regular season.

 The Flintridge Sacred Heart soccer team, ranked No. 1 in the latest California Interscholastic Federation Division II pool, picked up a huge 1-0 Mission League road victory against Chaminade, ranked No. 2 in the division. Sinead Fleming scored with about a minute left in the match to help put the Tologs closer to possibly winning the league crown. It marked the second time this season that Flintridge Sacred Heart toppled Chaminade.
