Contreras threw TD passes to K’lene Gutierrez, Sophie Lickl, Hannah Kelly and Hayden Huerta and. Huerta also caught a touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Hailey Huerta, her sister. Rosary Academy (13-7, 6-3) is currently in third place in league behind second-place Northwood and league-leading Woodbridge.

“It’s been an exciting season, we’ve played a lot of games, and the team is really playing well,” said Contreras.

Portola coach Julie Primero-De La Cruz said it’s been a learning process for her team (2-14, 0-10).

“We’re all learning, the coaches, the players and the referees,” said Primero-De La Cruz, “The girls play hard and we’re improving.”
