The biggest hidden gem in the gold mine of great players that helped lead Miramonte to their North Coast Section double overtime victory on Feb.23, has to be goalie Talia Kardon, a freshman. Beginning the play-off game against #2 ranked Cardinal Newman, confidently standing in front of the net behind team score leaders like Chayse Yu, Katrina White and Inara Inesi, Kardon was ultimately the deciding factor in the epic overtime victory. Called up from the Junior Varsity squad, she read the last two shots right and saved the team in the final penalty kick phase of overtime in the Division 3 match up. The Matadors finished #1 thanks to #00.
