The victory is Royal's third of the season against the five-time defending league champion, but this was the most dominating. ``This is definitely the best game we've played,'' said Sharleanna Richardson, who contributed two goals. ``We clicked. We were all together today. ... This time we were just going to blow 'em out of the water.'' Royal's Katie Harding scored a team-high three goals. Teammates Christine Cruz and Melissa Dicato added two goals, and Brandy Creek made 14 saves. The Highlanders (15-4, 10-0), who won their previous meeting with the Chargers (14-6, 7-2) by just one goal in overtime, were up 6-2 by halftime.

Megan O'Linn scored a team-high three goals for Agoura, which also received two goals from Meghan Corso. - Heather Gripp GIRLS' SOCCER Foothill League --Saugus 2, Valencia 0: Host Saugus scored both goals during a 10-minute span - one by sophomore Dani Morin in the 54th minute and the other by senior Stefanie Searcy in the 64th - in a victory that improved the Centurions to 11-5-3 overall. ``It felt really good,'' said Searcy, who helped Saugus beat Valencia for the first time in four years. Saugus couldn't have done it without goalkeeper Erica Berriz, who played despite a lingering shoulder injury. Berriz kept second-place Valencia (17-2-3) at bay throughout the first half and as time expired.
