UPDATE: Tesoro Gets a Team Effort to Advance in Girls' Soccer

(Update on Feb. 23: It has been reported by the Glendale News Press that Tesoro has had the home-field advantage taken away from it for its quarterfinal match with Flintridge Sacred Heart on Thursday because it committed a CIF infraction by using the wrong brand of soccer balls. The game will now be played at Sacred Heart.)

Tesoro didn't have to rely on one person for all its scoring on Tuesday in the second round of the Southern Section Girls Soccer Division 1 playoffs.

The Titans spread it around.

And they spread it on thick, a 4-0 victory over Newport Harbor.

Jamie Turchi and Taylor Thurmond scored in the first half. Cailey Starck and Victoria Russo scored in the second.

And the defense, behind Ashey Penton's seven saves, turned in another shutout as Tesoro (15-2-6) set up a Thursday quarterfinal match against third-seeded Flintridge Sacred Heart (18-1-1), which advanced with a 1-0 victory over Aliso Niguel. Newport Habor finished 8-13-3.

It's the 12th shutout of the season for Tesoro, which extended its unbeaten streak to 14 games.

It's the second playoff game in a row that Thurmond scored. The junior had the only marker in a 1-0 victory over JSerra in the first round.

In facing Flintridge Sacred Heart, an all-girls' school from La Canada, the Titans face a side that has outscored opponents 59-13 this season. They are led by 20-goal scorer Katie Johnson, a junior who also leads her team with nine assists.

Tesoro has outscored opponents, 44-10.
