In team sports, in American English, a shutout (a clean sheet in soccer) refers to a game in which one team prevents the opposing team from scoring.

It was the third time in the teams' past six meetings that Westlake scored four goals against Thousand Oaks Thousand Oaks, residential city (1990 pop. 104,352), Ventura co., S Calif., in a farm area; inc. 1964. Avocados, citrus, vegetables, strawberries, and nursery products are grown. (6-2, 0-1) since a 3-2 loss to the Lancers in 2004.

If you take away the first half (Wednesday), it was a good game.'' Westlake had struggled with its consistency on offense in ties against Newbury Park and Agoura to open league play. But the Warriors had no such difficulties in the first 25 minutes against Thousand Oaks.

The Warriors' pressure resulted in another goal in the 10th minute, with Rice-bound midfielder
In association football, a midfielder is a player whose position of play is midway between the attacking strikers and the defenders (highlighted in blue on the diagram). Kate Edwards converting a penalty shot after Bridget Berman was fouled from behind inside the box. ``Our focus lately has been on setting the tone early and taking advantage of our chances,'' Marino said. ``(In past games) we've been creating opportunity after opportunity and coming up empty. But (Wednesday) we put away our chances early and that was the difference.'' Sara Riazi came off the bench to help Westlake create a second wave of offense before halftime, resulting in a well-deserved goal for the freshman in the 24th minute. Connor delivered a perfectly placed pass in between two Thousand Oaks defenders, allowing Riazi to run on to the ball from the weak side and beat goalkeeper For the close-in weapon system, see . In many team sports, a goalkeeper (termed goaltender, netminder, goalie, or keeper in some sports) is a designated player that is charged with directly preventing the opposite team from scoring by defending the Laura Brain by a step, sliding a left-footed shot as she fell down inside the far post to give the Warriors a 3-0 lead. ``(Sara) has made a big impact for us,'' said DiPippo, who remained unbeaten in five career meetings with Thousand Oaks. ``She comes in and she expects to win every ball. Even when we had a 4-0 lead, she didn't let up.'' The three-goal first-half advantage was more than enough for the Warriors' defense. DiPippo, Krystin Shanklin, Becky Witwer and Kelly Adamski limited the Lancers to four shots on goal, one in the first half. ``Our back line has always been there and I always had faith (the scoring) would happen,'' said DiPippo, who has anchored an effort that has allowed only four goals in eight games. ``Everything just clicked. We came out from the beginning and showed that we wanted it really bad.'' DiPippo was also instrumental in limiting Thousand Oaks freshman Michelle Cruz to two shots on goal.

Connor capped the scoring in the 65th minute, receiving a pass from Edwards and taking on a Thousand Oaks defender from 30 yards out before beating a sliding Brain on a shot in the lower right corner. erik.boal@dailynews.com (818) 713-3607 CAPTION(S): 2 photos Photo: (1) Westlake players celebrate a goal early in Wednesday's 4-0 victory over Thousand Oaks in a Marmonte League contest.
