Pacifica Stories

Pacifica Girls Soccer has done it — your 2026 CIF Southern Section Division 7 Champions! After an unforgettable season, the Seawolves capped their journey with a thrilling 1–0 victory over Azusa, securing a championship that will go down in school history.

The championship match was a testament to the team’s grit, composure, and teamwork. Both sides battled through a scoreless first half, each refusing to give an inch. Then came the breakthrough: Ty Hampton delivered a perfectly timed cross into the box, and Sophia Motorin finished with precision to give the Seawolves the lead. From that moment, the team held strong, demonstrating the resilience and determination that defined their entire season.

This championship wasn’t earned overnight. Just days earlier in the Final Four, the team faced a tense, scoreless match that stretched through regulation and overtime against a formidable opponent. When the game came down to a penalty-kick shootout, Pacifica held its nerve, edging out a 4–3 victory. Hope Motorin was outstanding in goal, making crucial stops that anchored the defense and kept the team in the game. 

It was their second penalty-kick shootout of the playoff series, and once again, the Seawolves’ resilience and determination carried them through to triumph.

Playing with a true team-first spirit, the Seawolves have inspired the entire Pacifica community with their courage and composure. From the nail-biting shootouts to the championship-winning goal, this team has proven their undeniable greatness.

The girls then competed in the State Finals, where they were the #2 seed and made it to the semi-finals. This CIF-SS Championship will remain a shining moment in Pacifica’s history, and representing Pacifica and Southern California has been an honor. It was a season that we will never forget.
