The Vikings displayed what could become a pattern this season when they opened up against visiting La Costa Canyon Wed., Sept. 17.
They scored early, then kept the ball mostly in their attacking zone--their end of the field, as they dominated ball possession in the earlier parts of the game.
Senior Leyla Yazici ventured out of her defender spot at the back of the field, to score La Jolla's first goal only 1:37 into the game.
The other potential pattern, which head coach Amanda Combs Warford would likely want to pursue, is the ball possession factor in their half of the field. The more you have the ball near the opponent's goal, the more chances you have to score.
However, in this contest, the Mavericks came back to tie the game as time had run out at the end of the first quarter, and the play proceeded.
La Jolla then forged ahead with two more quick goals by Talia Snider early in the second period, the Second Team All-CIF selection last year scoring first with 13:07 on the clock, then again with 12 minutes left. The assist on the later one came from teammate Reese Lejuwaan.
