COACH OF THE YEAR
Manuel Maciel, San Pedro
Manuel Maciel described his fourth season as San Pedro’s girls soccer coach as “memorable.”
“They showed poise and determination all season,” Maciel said of the Pirates. “We had a lot of young players step into new roles and they made a big difference.”
San Pedro went through the regular season unbeaten (22-0-2), won the Marine League title and outscored its opponents 79-3.
The Pirates were the No. 2 seed in the L.A. City Section Open Division playoffs. They defeated El Camino Real in the quarterfinals and lost to eventual champion Granada Hills Charter in penalty kicks in the semifinals.
“It was a really great year,” Maciel said. “They had a team-first attitude, they didn’t care about who was scoring. Leilani (Phillips) scored 40 goals, but she was so selfless, sometimes making the extra pass for someone else to score and that set the tone.”
The Pirates’ only loss in regulation came in the opening round of the CIF SoCal Regional playoffs.
“Our goal for next year is to improve on the year before,” he said. “We always want to win league and get to the City final and win it and get back into the state tournament.”
