Sophomore Maddy Stratton rammed home a goal less than three minutes into the game, and the defense gave goalie Katja Sarain a day off as La Jolla swamped over-matched San Dieguito 6-0 in field hockey Sept. 23.
The visiting Mustangs couldn't manage a shot on goal in a long day for them after the drive down from Solana Beach. Vikings Julia Lana, like Stratton a sophomore, and Maria Movellan also scored goals in the first 12 minutes of the game, putting La Jolla up 3-0 early on with the rout on. The Vikings led 5-0 at halftime.
The hosts dominated time of possession, as well as time having the ball in their attacking half. Many of Coach Paula Conway's players got to play in the runaway win.

La Jolla moves back above .500, improving to 4-3 on the season. San Dieguito drops to 2-3.
Conway started some younger players and rested some of her veterans, in view of the competition.
Annamarie Allen, another sophomore, scored a pair of goals, with 6:45 left in the first half and 23 minutes into the second half. Sophomore Evie Bass netted a ball with 4:02 left in the opening period.
The Vikings bounced up into the "other teams" category (below the top ten) in the weekly UT field hockey rankings two weeks ago. They have beaten #8 Valley Center, and lost by a single goal to #3 Cathedral Catholic and #5 Fallbrook, as well as Canyon Crest, another ranked team.
