Quintero assisted on Muddy Crabbe's breakthrough goal in the second half.

The defense of Meredith Williams, Laura Koontz, Stella Koontz, Luna Nunez and keeper Brianna Figueroa earned the shutout victory.

The game's best player was Tiffany Huerta, who battled for 80 minutes in the midfield with East freshman Arden Miller and striker Lillian Jeffers, a senior transfer from Arizona State.

“These two rookies are going to be outstanding players,” SHS coach Matt Parrish said.
