            <title>Playoffs worth the wait for McDonald</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>A year ago, Alyssa McDonald watched from the bench as the Ventura College women's soccer team's playoff run came to an abrupt end.</p>

<p>This season, McDonald extended the Pirates postseason.</p>

<p>McDonald scored in the 103th minute as the Ventura College women's soccer team won twice in a postseason for the first time in its 14-year history with a 4-3 extra-time win over visiting Santa Monica College in the Southern California regional semifinals Tuesday night at the VC Sportsplex.</p>

<p>"We made history at Ventura College this year," McDonald, said, "We made it past the second round and we're going to go all the way this year."</p>

<p>After Ventura College missed two golden scoring opportunities midway through the first period of extra time, McDonald, who missed the 2008 postseason with a broken foot,  took a pass just inside the penalty area, turned her defender around and slid a powerful low strike just beyond the grasp of the Santa Monica goalkeeper.</p>

<p>No. 2 Ventura will host No. 3 San Bernardino Valley, which beat No. 6 Los Angeles Pierce 1-0, Saturday in a Southern California regional semifinal.</p>

            <title>McDonald gives VC the lead in the 103rd</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>With strike partner Jazmarae Strozier on the bench with a leg injury, Alyssa McDonald restores the Ventura College women's soccer team's lead for, 4-3, in the 103rd minute. <br />
 <br />
After VC missed two golden opportunities midway through the first period of extra time, McDonald put the Pirates in front or a second time with a stunning solo effort reminiscent of Strozier.</p>

<p>McDonald took a pass just inside the penalty area, turned her defender around and slid a powerful shot just beyond the grasp of the Santa Monica goalkeeper.</p>

<p>UPDATE: Ventura still leads 4-3 in the 113th. <br />

            <title>Extra time looms in Ventura</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Salgado's free kick with six minutes to play ties the match for Santa Monica, 3-3, at Ventura.</p>

<p>And Strozier is off the field and laying on the trainer's table. Not a good sign for the Pirates.<br />

            <title>A classic developing in Ventura</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>It's getting exciting at the VC Sportsplex. Xochitil Salgado equalized in the 59th minute for Santa Monica College, but Strozier restored the lead for the Ventura College women's soccer team, 3-2, three minutes later. </p>

<p>The Pirates continued to dominate play in the opening of the second half as Santa Monica didn't see a scoring opportunity until a corner kick in the 59th minute.</p>

<p>But that's all it took.</p>

<p>Santa Monica sophomore Salgado's near-perfect corner kick swerved untouched past Pirate goalie Aslyn Rau and evened the game at 2-2.</p>

<p>Again Strozier came to the rescue with a superb individual effort.  Strozier fought off two defenders 20 yards from goal and curved the ball around McElroy, off the crossbar, and into the net to put the Pirates back in front, 3-2.  </p>

<p>It was a world-class goal for the state's leading scorer.</p>

            <title>Two early goals at the VC Sportsplex</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Santa Monica takes the lead on the No. 2 Ventura College women's soccer team as Santos Tejada scores the opener in the 10th minute. </p>

<p>After a lengthy spell of dominant play from the Pirates, Tejada, a freshman, took a through ball on the right-hand side of the penalty area and chipped over on-rushing Pirate goalkeeper Aslyn Rau to put the Corsairs in front 1-0.</p>

<p>No. 7 Santa Monica is already only team to win at the VC Sportsplex this season.</p>

<p>But Ventura sophomore Jazmarae Strozier, the state leader in goals, equalizes five minutes later with her 29th goal of the season.</p>

<p>The Pirates seemed stunned after Santa Monica's opening goal, but turned to their star to pull them level.  </p>

<p>Strozier found herself double-teamed on the edge of the penalty area but swept the ball to the right and fired a stunning 20-yard strike inside the near post to tie the game.</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE: </strong>Sophomore Jessica Fogeltanz scores from Strozier to give Ventura a 2-1 lead in the 34th minute. </p>

<p>It was a well-worked team goal. Jennifer Arauz-Martinez played a short ball into Strozier, who swung a low cross into the penalty area. Lindsay Armenta stepped over Strozier's pass which fell perfectly for Jessica Fogeltanz, who slotted the ball home from 15 yards to put Ventura in the lead.<br />

            <title>Rappazzo heroics send MC women to SoCal finals</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Kendall Dryer equalized from Ashley Cheney's free kick with 12 minutes to play and goalkeeper Katie Rappazzo came off the bench to save the game-clinching spotkick as the No. 4 Moorpark College women's soccer team moved past No. 5 Cypress 4-2 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw Tuesday afternoon in Moorpark.</p>

<p>The Raiders (16-0-4) advance to a Southern California regional final Saturday against top-seed Santiago Canyon (19-0-2) which features two of the state's three remaining unbeaten teams. </p>
