previously unbeaten Crescenta Valley in the Division I final.
Jesus Alvarez and Miguel Rueda scored for the Pirates. Salar Hajimirsadeghi had the only goal for Crescenta Valley, which finished with a 22-1-7 record.
St. Augustine of San Diego defeated Lindsay, 2-1, on Kostas Kotselas' overtime goal in the Division II final.
Lindsay, a farm town located on
the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the San Joaquin Valley, had sent the game into overtime on Abraham Bettencourt's last-minute goal.
