Fast starts have been the norm for the Corona del Mar and Newport Harbor high school girls’ soccer teams this season. In two different matches, University of Arizona-bound CdM senior striker Megan Chelf has scored a goal within a minute of the opening whistle, coach Bryan Middleton said. Newport Harbor lost Daily Pilot Dream Team Player of the Year Emily Johnson and fellow captain Sofia Velazquez to graduation in the midfield. Schroeder expects Newport Harbor to be ready for the Battle of the Bay, which the Sailors won 3-0 last year. Newport Harbor is 2-0-3 in the last five matchups against rival CdM.
