In defeat, junior middie Caroline Boucher had a team-high four points on three goals and one assist, junior middie Katie Trees finished with three points on two goals and one assist and junior attack Anna Knowles had three points on two goals and one assist for Torrey Pines (9-3), which had its eight-game winning streak snapped.

The Falcons lost for the first time this season to a San Diego opponent. Their other two defeats were to No. 12 Carondelet of the North Coast Section and No. 1 Cherry Creek of Colorado.
La Costa Canyon started hot, scoring the game’s opening five goals, and it was a lead the Mavericks would never relinquish. La Costa Canyon led 6-4 at halftime, but after Torrey Pines closed within one early in the second half, the Mavericks took command again.
“I’m very proud of my girls,” La Costa Canyon head coach Sara Fraschetti said. “They were cool, calm, collected and confident. They played to the best of their ability and trusted each other.”
