The preliminaries are now over for the Menlo girls' soccer team, which breezed into the quarterfinals of the Central Coast Section Division III playoffs with an 8-0 crushing of visiting Seaside on a bright Wednesday afternoon. Things get a lot tougher for the No. 6-seeded Knights (14-2-4), who next will play No. 3 Santa Cruz (12-3-4) on Saturday at Valley Christian at 2 p.m.

If Menlo learned anything from its win over No. 11 Seaside (11-5-3) it was that it won't be able to start any more matches by missing its first 15 shots. The Knights did just that and were called for six offsides early in the first half. Menlo helped offset those problems by taking 25 shots in the first half before head coach Donoson FitzGerald stopped counting.

Seniors Nicole Fasola and Katie Baum eached scored twice with senior Mila Sheeline adding a solo tally, as did junior Kelly Cavan and sophomore Sophie Sheeline and Elyse Adler. The Knights simply dominated play and cleared their bench in the second half as to not run up the score.
