Program cover

The winner will host the state championship game next Saturday at 1 p.m.

This is Ventura College's fourth appearance in the regional title game. It fell to Riverside in 1935 and 2021 and beat Riverside 31-21 in 2018 to earn its first state final berth.

This will be the first time this game is played on Ventura College's campus.

Engelhardt finishes 26th at NXN

In her first taste of Nike Cross Nationals, Ventura High junior Sadie Engelhardt — the CIF-State Division II champion — finishes 26th in 18:14.0 at Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland, Ore.

Engelhardt is 20th after 3K

Engelhardt has slipped to 20th in 10:33 after 3K. The race is more than half over. She’s 34 seconds behind leader Leachman, who leads the race by 14 seconds.

At 4K, Engelhardt is 24th in 14:27.2.

And they’re off!

The 5K race has begun in Portland. Engelhardt races out to second in the opening 100 meters. Ahead of the pack.

Engelhardt is third at 1K in 3:16.9, 6.4 seconds behind fellow favorites. Elizabeth Leachman and Rachel Forsyth.

On the course in Portland

They are getting ready to run for glory in Portland, Ore., where Ventura junior Sadie Engelhardt will run at Nike Cross Nationals for the first time.

Engelhardt wearing a red and white striped top bearing "CALIFORNIA" with bib No. 360. Course looks muddy and wet, similar to the conditions that Newbury Park's Nico Young faced in winning the boys race in 2019.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!

The Cal Lutheran women's soccer team beats Washington University 1-0 to win the NCAA Division III national championship for the program's first national title.

1 minute left!

One minute to go. CLU up 1-0.

3 minutes to glory

CLU women’s soccer team just three minutes away from its first national championship. Up 1-0 over Washington University in NCAA Division III championship match. Here's what they are after:

5 minutes to go!

CLU women’s soccer team just five minutes away from its first national championship. Up 1-0 over Washington University in NCAA Division III championship match.

10 minutes to go

Tick ... tick ... tick. Just 10 minutes left. CLU women's soccer team maintaining 1-0 lead over Washington University in the NCAA Division III championship match.

Big chance for Wash U

Washington University nearly equalizes on a cross but volley goes wide. CLU keeps 1-0 lead with 16 minutes left.

20 minutes to title for CLU

CLU women's soccer team still holding 1-0 lead over Washington University as the clock ticks down to 20 minutes left in the game. The Regals closing in on the NCAA Division III title.

Crossbar is CLU's friend

Washington University with a rocket shot that goes off the top crossbar as CLU holds onto 1-0 lead with 28 minutes left.

Only 30 minutes left to national title

CLU defense doing the job as Regals still lead Washington University 1-0 with 30 minutes left in the NCAA Division III championship match.

2nd half under way

The second half has started with Cal Lutheran leading 1-0 over Washington University of St. Louis in the NCAA Division III championship in Salem, Virginia.

St. Bonaventure hits the road

The St. Bonaventure High football team is on its way to Mesa College in San Diego to take on St. Augustine in the Division 1-A state regional final. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

CLU leads at halftime

Thanks to a goal by Bella Veljacic on a 30-yard shot, the Cal Lutheran women's soccer team leads 1-0 over Washington University of St. Louis at halftime of the NCAA Division III championship in Salem, Virginia.

GOAL REGALS!

Wow! Cal Lutheran has taken the lead with a 17th-minute wonder goal from forward Bella Veljacic.

She cut inside from the left and curled a shot from 30 yards off the crossbar. It glances off diving All-American goalkeeper Sidney Connor and into the Wash U net.

Veljacic apparently loves playing against Wash U. She scored twice, including a late winner, when CLU beat Wash U last season at Rolland Stadium.

Just the start the Regals needed without three starters.

Kickoff in Virginia

The NCAA Division III women’s soccer national championship match is underway at Roanoke College in Salem, Va.

After Cal Lutheran lost three starters during the semifinal against Tufts, the starting lineup was going to bring news and it has. Buena High graduate Savana Durr has recovered from injury well enough to start the national title game.

Avery West, the SCIAC Defensive Player of the Year, is out. She scored the Regals’ goal in the semifinal. So is midfielder Adriana Maroney.

The CLU starting lineup is Kelsey Slaugh, Savana Durr, MAdie Fahey, Ally Fisicaro, Hannah Gamez, Bryann McMahon, Anna Evenson, Eden Quiroz, Elisa Shott, Isabella Veljacic and Caitlyn Winter.

10' More news in the 10th minute. Durr has limped off injured again. So it seems like all three players injured in the semifinal Thursday won't be able to make an impact in the national final.

9 a.m.: The Cal Lutheran women's soccer team plays for the NCAA Division III championship in Virginia.
