The Mavericks (1-0) started the 2014 season with a solid win over Open Division opponent, Rancho Bernardo (3-1)with a final score of 13-6. The first quarter began with the Mavericks dominating the stat sheet out-shooting their opponent 15-0 but the RB goalie made some nice saves and we only carried a 2-0 lead after one quarter. In the second quarter the Mavericks found their rhythm and scored 4 goals on 7 shots to take a 6-1 lead into halftime. LCC started the third quarter in similar fashion scoring 5 goals on 12 shots to hold onto a 11-3 lead. In the fourth quarter the Broncos mounted a small comeback because of some untimely penalties by the Mavericks. The game saw 7 different Mavericks find the net including Jack Kagan and Elliott Freer, who scored the first Varsity goals. Cameron Zielger led the team with 9 points (5 goals and 4 assists)for a career high. Brandon Steidley went 6 of 9 at the face off X to along with 4 ground balls. Patrick Dahl made 7 saves in his first career start. The Mavericks are back in action this Wednesday, March 19th at Westview HS at 730pm.

LCC rolls past San Marcos

Posted by La Costa Canyon Mavericks at May 20, 2013 4:06PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

The Mavericks (17-3) continued their hot streak on Saturday beating San Marcos (11-5) by a score of 16-0 in the first round of the CIF Playoffs. The 16 goals were the most goals scored by LCC this year. The Mavericks continued to find their offensive rhythm as they have scored in double digits in each of their 3 games. Bryan Cooper was fantastic in the first 3 quarters and Adam Nye made a beautiful kick save in the fourth quarter to preserve the shut out. 10 different scorers found the net with Brent Melbye (3 goals) and Ben Keen (4 goals) topping the scoring sheet. Michael Rice had his best game as a Maverick posting 4 points on a goal and 3 assists. San Marcos, who won the Valley league, was never able to get going due to solid team defense and the transition play of the Mavericks. With the win, LCC advances to the CIF Semifinal on Wednesday, May 22nd. The #2 Mavericks will take on #3 Cathedral Catholic at LCC at 7pm. The game is a rematch of an LCC win on March 15th. In that game the Mavericks scored 3 unanswered goals in the fourth quarter to win 7-5. I hope everyone can come out and show their support. Go Mavs!

La Costa Canyon 9, Torrey Pines 8

Some rivalries evoke great emotion. And when the rival comes to town, the entire community is there with great intensity.

Then there is the La Costa Canyon rivalry with Torrey Pines in high school boys lacrosse.

That was never more apparent than Friday night when defending San Diego Section Division I champion LCC went to Torrey Pines in what was a revenge game for the Falcons.

Torrey Pines dropped both Avocado League games as well as the section finals to La Costa Canyon, so to say this was a big game would be an understatement.

“They have last year’s playoff brackets up on the wall of the locker room,” Torrey Pines coach Jonathan Zissi said. “They have had this game marked on their calendar since last year’s finals.

“This rivalry is real. I’m from back East and this rivalry is better than a lot of them back there.

“These guys are lucky to have a rivalry that is more than a playoff game. This one felt like a CIF championship game.”

So when La Costa Canyon sophomore Dino Renna scored the final goal with just 1:15 to play for a 9-8 LCC win, it felt like it did last year when the Mavericks (11-2, 3-0) won the title from the Falcons (10-3, 3-1).

And since both teams are in the Open Division this year and are guaranteed a playoff berth, the chances of two additional meetings are almost assured.

The way the first meeting unfolded, both games will be worth watching.

“We’re here to stay,” said Renna, who scored three goals. “I came out nervous, but once I took a couple of checks I was ready to go.”

But Renna still waited until the final seconds of the third quarter to score his first goal of the game.

There were only four seconds left when Renna hit the net for the first time, pulling the Mavs even 7-7 after three quarters.

“I was just saving it,” Renna said, smiling. “The game went back and forth all night. The momentum was even, but the fourth quarter always belongs to LCC.

“I wanted to get one before the fourth for momentum going into our quarter.”

He did, and for good measure Renna scored both of the Mavs’ goals in the final quarter.

After Greg Newman gave the Falcons an 8-7 lead, Renna’s first one came with 5:42 left to tie the game at 8-8, the sixth and final time the score was tied.

Then came Renna’s biggest goal. Cutting through the crease, he took a pass from Ben Keen and whipped a shot past goalie Jake Kennedy for the game-winner.

“I was in the right place at the right time,” Renna said. “Ben and I made eye contact. I just took the shot. It was more Ben than it was me. I had no time to think about it. It was just like practice.”
