LJ FH 1, Cathedral 2

Game action early in the second half.


Vike FH'ers fall to Cathedral at home, 2-1

La Jolla's stellar field hockey team won the first half against Cathedral Catholic, but the Vikings lost the second half and the game, 2-1, at Muirlands Sept. 11.

Coach Paula Conway told her crew in the La Jolla baseball dugout at halftime, "You've won the first half. Now win the second half, and we've met one of our goals for the season."

But it was not to be. After midfielder Kelly Collins' goal with 18:50 left in the first half, the Dons roared back with two second-half goals to take away the day's prize.

Viking goalie Katja Sarain recorded five saves in a tough match.

The Cathedral goals were scored by Peyton "Manning" Mowrey and Shannon Link.

La Jolla has a big rivalry with Cathedral Catholic. Fittingly, the girls played with concentration and intensity that were apparent. The Viking stickhandlers recorded a good time of possession in the first half, keeping the ball on their attacking half of the rectangle a lot of elapsed time and, as a result, keeping the Dons on the defensive frequently.
