The Sequoia High girls soccer team has finished third twice since returning to the Peninsula Athletic League’s more competitive Bay Division in 2019-20.
This might be the season Sequoia gives powerhouse Woodside some competition.

The Ravens certainly controlled play during Tuesday’s 4-0 non-league victory over visiting Capuchino.
Freshman Teagan Tokheim recorded a hat trick as Sequoia peppered Capuchino’s goal with shot after shot while Sequoia goalies Gabby Holloszy and Isabella Burns hardly had much company during the match.
Nathalie Franco, Reese McKeon and Nina Mills each had shots dent the goal post while Cap’s goalie came up with several big saves.
Addison Haws also scored a goal and recorded an assist for Sequoia (5-1), which matched its win total from last year’s 12-game season.
Sequoia will continue to refine things with a 4:30 p.m. non-league game at home against Terra Nova on Thursday.
The Ravens open league season against Menlo-Atherton next week.
“I’m happy with the way things are turning out,” Sequoia coach Melissa Schmidt said. “We gotten some good results against tough teams.”
Holloszy and Burns had it easy because of players like Charlotte Dugoni, Aminah Evans, Raquel Ladabaum and Samantha Laing, who helped control things in their own zone.
