La Jolla's field hockey team shut out Westview on the Wolverines' home field, 1-0, Wed., Sept. 9.
Senior midfielder Trisha Turner scored the only goal of the game in the second half. She described her shot this way: "Corner shot, push pass from the right side on the 16-yard (line), angled to the left side of the goal from my perspective."
"It was a good win for us," new Coach Lisa Griffiths said. "The girls really stuck to their structure for the game and looked for the options on the field. They slowed the game down to regain control."
La Jolla lost a couple of games in the Otay tournament last weekend.
But in the win over Westview, "They knew what they needed to do. They gave 120 percent and got the desired result," said Griffiths.
A sidenote is that Griffiths' email address contains the word "gromit". A gromit, according to the Urban Dictionary, is an up-and-comer in skateboarding and other sports. She and her team certainly are gromits.
