Olivia Maragos’ three-goal spree powered second-seeded Ripon to a breezy 4-1 victory over visiting Livingston in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV girls soccer playoffs Friday.

Jordyn Meeuwse and Starla Skiles assisted her first two goals in the third and 24th minutes. Maragos completed the hat trick on a breakaway in the 44th minute.

The No. 15 Wolves (9-12-4) got on board in the 60th minute, but Ripon (17-4-1) ended any hopes of a miracle comeback with Sofia Cabello’s goal off a through pass from Rylee Agbayani.

Starting goalkeeper Ellena Parenti Gomez did not take a shot on frame. Reserve Kylie Wiggins had one save.

The Indians face No. 10 El Camino (8-2-7) in the quarterfinals next Tuesday back at Wes Stouffer Field. The Golden Empire League runner-up upset No. 7 Oakmont, 1-0.
