In what was a gruesome contest that featured Claremont's Hugo Lepe bleeding from the left side of his head after receiving an elbow from a Valley View player, the Wolfpack pulled out a tough 2-1 victory over the Eagles on Wednesday in a CIF Southern Section Division 2 second round match in order to advance to the quarterfinals tomorrow.
Cory Hodge scored Claremont's first goal in the 35th minute to put the Pack ahead at the half, 1-0. CHS increased its narrow lead at the 65th minute when Brennen Carter recorded the Wolfpack's 2nd goal.
Valley View's Alex Turkson sliced the lead to one in the 76th minute when he booted the ball past Claremont goalie Sam Newton. But the Wolfpack held strong for the last 4 minutes in order to clinch the victory.
Claremont will play Foothill High School in Santa Ana on Friday at 3 p.m. The game will be held at Hillview Continuation High School (19061 Foothill Blvd., Santa Ana, CA 92705).
