Emma Song got the goal for Portola “as a result of great build-up play from Sarah Collins, Lorel Stringer and Lily Nesland,” said Coach Joshua Stringer.

The Bulldogs notched their 13th shutout of the season by the defensive unit nicknamed, “the magnificent M’s,” which includes midfielder Mirabella Allen-Aguirre, center backs Michaela Allen-Aguirre and Malaika Fawzi and goalkeeper Mia Linville, the coach added.
