Sophomore Dexter Black scored five goals and La Jolla held off Torrey Pines for the second time this season, this one counting for a CIF Open Division quarterfinal win Wednesday night, Nov. 6, at Coggan Pool.
"They were in a drop. We were able to take advantage of it," said the tall lefty, who scored to give the Vikings a five-goal lead in the third quarter at 11-6.
The hosts then expanded the advantage to six with 12 seconds left in the period, basically icing the match.
La Jolla advances to a semifinal game Tues., Nov. 12.
Liam Flanagan, one of the Vikings' leading scorers this season, netted three key goals, putting La Jolla on the scoreboard a minute into the game, then following with one each in the next two quarters.
Fin Alford had two goals in the second period, Quinn Daniels three in the second half.
The Falcons narrowed the lead to 13-10 with 4:21 left in the fourth quarter, which Viking coach Tom Atwell took a timeout shortly after.
But then Daniels scored two in a row, and senior captain Jackson Brown was substituted in at goal in a nice gesture at the two-minute mark with the final count, 15-11, already established.
