San Diego Shores defeated Stanford, 12-5, for the championship.
Foothill teammate Jillian Kraus scored a goal for So Cal, along with Katherine Belden, a graduate of Newport Harbor, and Vicki Brown and Katie Card, graduates of Foothill.
With the victory, So Cal gains an automatic bid to next year’s tournament.
