Marshall Fundamental girls’ soccer wins CIF championship

For a school often overlooked and a girls’ soccer program lacking a ring, the first of March proved a historical day for Marshall Fundamental.
The Eagles scored two second-half goals before celebrating their first-ever championship after a 2-0 victory over El Monte Arroyo High in Friday afternoon’s CIF Southern Section Division VII championship match at Warren High’s Justice Stadium.
The title is also the first for the school since a boys’ track championship in 1996 and the first girls’ crown in any sport in exactly 30 years.
“I don’t think this feeling will fully set into us until like Tuesday when they’re in math class,” Eagles Coach Esteban Villanueva said. “For myself, I don’t think it will kick in until … I hope it never kicks in so I’m happy like this for the rest of my life.”
