Carondelet Advances to CIF NorCal Division I Girls Soccer Regional Semifinals

The Carondelet varsity soccer team was selected to participate in the 2018 CIF Northern California Division I Girls Soccer Regional. The Cougars earned a #5 seed in the tournament and had an opening round game at #4-seed Davis High School on Tuesday. 

In the NorCal Regional Tournament opening round game, the Cougars pulled out a 2-1 victory over the Blue Devils. All three goals were scored in the first half, as Carondelet got a goal by freshman Jordyn Young and the game-winning goal and an assist by sophomore Ellie Ospeck. 

The Carondelet win snapped a 71-game unbeaten streak for Davis, that included a 3-0 victory over Carondelet earlier this season. The unbeaten streak dated back to the 2015 season. 

In the semifinal round of the NorCal Regional, the Cougars faced a familiar foe, as they took on the top-seeded Monte Vista Mustangs for the fourth time this season. Carondelet's season came to an end with a 2-1 loss to the Mustangs. 

After falling behind 1-0, Carondelet's Ellie Ospeck scored a goal off an assist by Rory Biles, sending the game to halftime tied at one. Monte Vista scored the only goal in the second half, to defeat the Cougars 2-1 and advance to the NorCal Regional Championship game against Archbishop Mitty. 

Carondelet's finished the 2017-18 season with an 18-7-4 overall record, and ranked eighth overall in California and 22nd nationally. 

Carondelet had seven players named to the All-East Bay Athletic League Team, as Devin Lozano, Hannah Macaulay and Ellie Ospeck were first team selections. Cassidy Tshimbalanga was a second-team honoree, and Rory Biles, Natalie Ospeck and Angelina Scoma were honorable mention selections.
