La Costa Canyon Mavericks

La Costa Canyon (2-0) used a balanced offense and a solid defense to win Friday night’s game against league opponent, San Marcos (1-2). The Maverick’s offense was well executed as it built an 8-2 lead at half time. The game was hard fought by both teams and San Marcos continued to fight the entire game. In the end, LCC was too much for the knights and won by a final score of 15-6. The game saw 9 different scorers find the back of the net and 10 of the 15 goals were assisted. Defensively, we had 22 caused turnovers and were 14 of 15 in clears. Ground balls were a huge factor in the time of possession and pace of the game as LCC held a 40-22 advantage in ground balls. Aaron Loy was 5-11 shooting for a career high 5 goals and scooped up 5 ground balls. Tom Riis continued to excel at the face off X going 12-16 for 75%. He also scooped up a game high 7 ground balls and scored 3 points (2 goals, 1 assist). Aiden Moran was solid on defense causing 4 turnovers, having an assist, and putting down vicious hits all game. It was a nice win against a steadily improving San Marcos team. On Tuesday, March 13th we will be traveling to play “preseason #1” Cathedral Catholic. The game starts at 7pm and should be a great early season test for the boys!
