Cate School jumped out to a 6-2 halftime lead and went on to post a 9-5 girls lacrosse win over visiting San Marcos in a Channel League game on Thursday.
The teams split their league games.
“Cate came out really quick and their girls were precise with their passing. We were on our heels about all of that first half, so hats off to them for that,” said San Marcos head coach Paul Ramsey.
“I like the way we battled the entire 50 minutes and made it a 3-3 second half, but they were overall sharper today.”
Local youth lacrosse product Gigi Geyer led Cate in scoring with four goals and Phebe Hancock scored twice.
Senior Sofia Martinez-Tomatis led the Royals with two goals. Megan Taylor had six saves for San Marcos.
San Marcos plays right away in a rescheduled game with Dos Pueblos that is at 4:00pm on Friday at Warkentin Stadium.
