Miranda, Chavarria propel Jets to City finals

“The girls played probably their best game of the season,’’ said East Boston coach Rich LaCara. “There was no letup. They just kept their eyes on the prize. Now we’re heading to the championship game.’’

Miranda put the Jets, who controlled possession from the get-go, on the board at the 10-minute mark. In the 41st minute the senior added a second goal to double the lead.

“That second goal helped to put everyone at ease,’’ said LaCara, who credited Chavarria with helping the Jets keep their lead. “We made some mistakes in the first [half] but Darlenne was there to make some unbelievable saves, including three from almost point-blank range.’’

Chavarria finished with seven saves. East Boston’s leading scorer, Nazalia Garcia, notched her 15th of the season to put the Jets up, 3-0, midway through the second half and captain Areli Navarro added the fourth goal in the 71st minute.

The second-seeded Jets will take on perennial Boston City powerhouse Brighton tomorrow for the title. The Bengals took care of fourth-seeded South Boston, 6-2, yesterday to advance to their fifth final in eight years. Brighton finished 12-0 in league play, including a 4-2 win over East Boston on Oct. 11. The loss was the sole league defeat for the Jets (11-1).

“[Brighton] got what they wanted and we got our chance to get some revenge for earlier this season,’’ said LaCara. “We’re excited [to be in the championship with Brighton]. We know both teams are evenly matched, so it should be a good one.’’
