Malibu plays in its first semifinal today after upsetting Righetti, the No. 3 seed in Division IV, in the quarterfinals. The Sharks face No. 2 Santa Barbara Santa Barbara (săn'tə bär`brə, –bərə), city (1990 pop. 85,571), seat of Santa Barbara co., S Calif., on the Pacific Ocean; inc. 1850. at 3:30 p.m. today at Oxnard High for a berth in Saturday's championship at Belmont Plaza in Long Beach. ``We're just real balanced,'' Mulligan said. ``If someone has an off day, there's someone else there to step up. We have so many guys scoring and defensively they're playing really, really well.'' Senior goalkeeper Robbie Miller Robbie Miller (b. February 8th, 1980) is an Australian rugby union footballer. He has represented Australia at U/21 level and played for Australia at 7's.

The toughest thing in this (division) is there's no clear dominant team. Whoever gets hot can go on a run and win it. It's exciting knowing you have a shot.'' Santa Barbara (24-7) advanced with a 5-4 victory over Agoura. --So much for seedings: Three local teams received seeds among the top four in their respective divisions, but only Harvard-Westlake of Studio City, the No. 3 seed in Division I, remains in the playoffs.

In Division IV, No. 4 Rio Mesa of Oxnard was eliminated in the first round by San Marcos, which went on to eliminate Marmonte League champion Thousand Oaks in the quarterfinals. Division I is one of just two division in which a seeded team has not been upset. Harvard-Westlake looks to break that distinction when the Wolverines (17-4) face No. 2 El Toro today at 5 p.m. at the Los Alamitos Navy base. --Potential rematch: A Harvard-Westlake victory today likely would set up a showdown with No. 1 Long Beach Wilson in the final. The Bruins spent much of the season ranked lower than the Wolverines, but there are few other teams over which a victory would be as satisfying for Harvard-Westlake. Wilson has won four of the last five division titles, including the 1998 championship in which they beat the Wolverines in the final. Harvard-Westlake defeated Wilson last month for the first time in 10 years. |
