Claremont girls soccer defeated Bonita, 2-1, on Tuesday, putting the final touch on a great season and netting a second consecutive Palomares

League title.

Even if the Pack had lost against the Bearcats, the girls were bound to be champions because second-place Alta Loma was more than one game back.

Junior Emily Maass and sophomore Samantha Healy each scored a goal, and Healy also got an assist.

Claremont ends the season at 9-1, overall 19-1-1, and will host the first round of the CIF tournament when the bracket is announced.
