After going down 1-0 with 6:32 left in the first quarter to visiting Scripps Ranch, La Jolla's field hockey team doubled up in the third period to score a pair of goals, including Allison Hawthorne's go-ahead goal at the end of the quarter, to take the CIF Open Division semifinals 2-1 Tues., Nov. 12 at Gene Edwards Stadium.
The Falcons, now coached by Elizabeth Jacobs, have long been one half of the two-headed nemesis--the other being Serra/Canyon Hills--that Coach Amanda Combs Warford's Vikings have lived under the shadow of for years.
But no more. La Jolla vanquished Canyon Hills in the quarterfinals, 1-0, then Wednesday set themselves up for the title match Sat., Nov. 16 against new number-one Bishop's at Bonita Vista High at 6 p.m.
Lilly Ferrari, the Vikings' second highest scorer behind Hawthorne, drilled the equalizer into the net in the third quarter on a penalty stroke.
