Cate girls lacrosse cruised to a 12-3 victory over Nordhoff at home on Tuesday.

“Everyone on the team contributed to the team’s success,” Cate coach Renee Mack said. “Every day, the team’s lacrosse knowledge, fundamental skills and athletic endurance are increasing and improving.

The Rams jumped out to a strong lead in the opening minutes, held a 7-1 advantage at halftime and never looked back to pick up the league win.

Maia Holmes led all scorers with four goals while Sophia Ospina and Perry James tallied three goals apiece. Ospina also collected five draws and one assist while James forced a pair of turnovers.

Rounding out the scoring for Cate were Harper Halbardier, Lauren Hubbs and Carmen Lack.

Possession in the midfield was key for the Rams as Sam Jimenez, Lucy Guilbert-Neil, Perry James and Ospina impressed in that part of the field.

Violet Monda, Francis Davis, Mel Davidson and Eleni Bhatia also had strong games as well.

Cate (3-2) will play host to Valencia on Friday.
