GIRLS' SOCCER: RESTED H.-W. WINS DEFENSE KEY IN ITS FIRST MATCH IN THREE WEEKS H.-W. 2, CHAMINADE 0.


Byline: Chris Cocoles Staff Writer

The expectations weren't for Harvard-Westlake High of Studio City to play a technically perfect match. Not after a holiday season full of family feasts Family Feast is a term trademarked by KFC] (Great Britain) Limited] on 27 November 1998 by trademark Agent Grant Spencer Caisley & Porteous LLP of 16 High Holborn, London,WC1V 6BY to represent a meal consisting of either:

The visiting Wolverines (9-0-2, 1-0) hadn't played since the third week of December. And as usual, the players took Christmas and New Year's week off. Completely.

``I gave them 10 days off. The other (Harvard-Westlake) winter coaches think I'm crazy "I'm Crazy" is a short story written by J. D. Salinger in 1945 for Collier's magazine. From all his short stories involving Holden Caulfield, this one is most similar to Catcher In The Rye, as it simply recounts well-known scenes with Mr. ,'' Harvard-Westlake coach Stacy Schwartz said. ``They also think I have the best job in the world. But 100 percent of these girls play year around. And some of them have been playing non-stop since July. I just think they earned the time off.''

 practices to prepare for the seventh-ranked Eagles (7-5-1, 0-1) weren't enough for the Wolverines to play at the top of their game offensively. But this team has enough experience in the back to get by.

Indeed, after forward Tracy Lansing's goal in the seventh minute, Harvard-Westlake controlled the game via its defenders, most of whom have contributed during two consecutive Southern Section co-championship runs.

Senior goalkeeper Marcela Benitez is helped by veteran Lindsay Kimura at stopper, fellow senior Katie DeWitt and junior Lauren Fisher at fullback. Junior Julia Shapira has filled in nicely for departed star sweeper Kim LaVere.

``It's really important for us to make good passes from the back and staying aggressive,'' Kimura said.
