OLu’s historic season continues as the Lancers defeated Palm Desert 2-1 in overtime on Thursday in a thrilling CIF State Regional semifinal game at Montell Field.

The game remained 0-0 until midway through the second half when Palm Desert got on the board first with a converted penalty kick.

But the Lancers weren’t finished. Senior Jayden Jimenez scored on a stellar corner kick in the 66th minute to make it 1-1.

Knotted at 1 at the end of regulation, the game headed to overtime. Within the first minute, it was Jimenez again with the golden goal overtime winner.

The Lancers will make their first appearance in the CIF State Regional Final in school history when they host Littlerock for the championship on Saturday, March 4 at 5 pm at Orange Coast College. OLu is 19-6-2 on the season, having won nine of their last 10 games.
