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 before, the team proved their nerves of steel in the Final Four, battling through a scoreless regulation and overtime against a tough opponent. The match came down to a nail-biting penalty-kick shootout — Pacifica pulled through 4–3, with Hope Motorin standing tall in goal, making key stops and anchoring the team’s defense. It was their second penalty-kick shootout of the playoff series, and the Seawolves’ resilience shone through once again.

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 that their undeniable greatness.

While the team now prepares for the upcoming State Finals, where they will compete in the next stage of the Division V tournament as the #2 seed, this CIF-SS Championship will remain a shining moment in Pacifica’s history.
