The Calabasas boys' soccer team stepped on the field Friday thinking it could compete with the best teams in the Southern Section.

Calabasas goalkeeper Aaron Gordon recorded his 14th shutout of the season.

--Bell Gardens 5, Highland 0: A tough season for visiting Highland of Palmdale ended in tough fashion, as Bell Gardens scored all five of its goals in the second half.

The loss ends a campaign filled with unfulfilled expectations for Highland (11-9-4), which expected to contend for the Golden League title. A series of injuries plagued the Bulldogs from the get-go, and the team finished third in league.

``We just had so many injuries and people with sickness from the start,'' Highland coach Danny Young said. ``We were actually coming together real well toward the end of the season, but then we lost a couple of players to academic ineligibility.''

--Quartz Hill 3, Eisenhower 2: El Shaddai Bent scored all three goals for host Quartz Hill (17-6-1), which advances to the second round for the second time in as many seasons.

Quartz Hill advanced to Tuesday' second round against Mater Dei of Santa Ana, which defeated Long Beach Poly 2-1 in double overtime Friday.

--Palmdale 3, Montebello 2 (OT): Juan Ambriz's goal in the 96th minute lifted host Palmdale (21-6-5) to the overtime victory. Palmdale, the Golden League champion, began its rally from a 2-1 deficit when Jaime Hernandez scored in the 38th minute. John Rodriguez also scored for the Falcons.

--Hart 4, San Marcos 1: Paul Aguilar scored two goals and Devin Del Do added his 23rd goal of the season as Hart of Newhall (18-5-3) dominated from the start, jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first 15 minutes.

``We were pumped up at the start and jumped ahead early. Then we scored again in the second half and started letting down a bit, and that's when they scored,'' Hart coach Robert Ciccone said. ``But we stepped it up again with another goal. Overall, I'm pretty happy with our performance.''

Kevin Ciccone also scored a goal, and goalkeeper Jose Esquivel had six saves for Hart.

--Westlake 1, Brea Olinda 0: Westlake, the Marmonte League's third-place representative, scored with five minutes remaining in the game and held off a late rally by the hosts to advance.

Justin Barmasse was credited with the assist for Westlake (16-7-2) when he sent a free kick toward forward Israel Higuera, who knocked in the game-winning goal with a header.

--Thousand Oaks 2, Leuzinger 1: Miguel Morales and Dylan Riley both scored goals as Thousand Oaks took a 2-0 lead six minutes into the game and held off a late rally to win at home.

Goalkeeper Kenney Negron had five saves, and two key stops late in the second half, to preserve the lead for Thousand Oaks (23-3-3).

--Loyola 3, Foothill 0: Andreas Andrews had a goal and an assist for Loyola of Los Angeles (23-4-3) in its first-round victory at home.

DIV. V

--Oaks Christian 3, Campbell Hall 1: Mike Morris scored a goal in the second half to break a 1-1 tie and spark Oaks Christian of Westlake Village (13-3-4) to the victory at home.

Liam Leonard scored twice.

--Paraclete 2, St. Genevieve 0: Steve Roth and D.J. Vigil each scored for host and top-seeded Paraclete of Lancaster (18-5-4), which outshot the visitors 19-2.

Goalkeeper Kyle Burkhardt had his 17th shutout of the season for Paraclete.

His counterpart, Brian Parra, recorded 17 saves for St. Genevieve of Panorama City, which had its first postseason appearance in the program's 12-year history.

``Paraclete is an awesome team,'' said St. Genevieve coach Bernard Torres. ``They averaged six goals a game this season. We held them to only two, that's a great thing for us. It's our first time playing in the playoffs. We went in there with a game plan and executed.''

--Village Christian 1, La Salle 0: Robert Salamanca scored the game- winning goal in the 65th minute off an assist from Ryan Longoria as host Village Christian of Sun Valley (10-7-4) won.

La Salle goalkeeper Gino Buccola was tackled in the 25th minute, knocking him out and causing a 30-minute game delay as the teams waited for an ambulance. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

In his absence, freshman Andy Saldana played well against a relentless Village Christian offense, finishing with seven saves.
