After an early Alexa Riddle score for Pacifica, Flintridge Prep goalie Lindsey Uteda shut the Mariners out for north of 65 minutes to clinch the championship.
Helen Schaefer’s first-half goal got the Rebels even at the break.
Freshman Makenna Dominguez scored a pair of second-half goals and the rest is literally history for Flintridge Prep.
Prep will find out Sunday who they’ll face this coming Tuesday in the CIF Southern California Regionals.
Arielle Guzman assisted on one goal for the Rebels.
