Despite a strong defensive switch in the second half, Dos Pueblos girls lacrosse fell, 9-5, to Oaks Christian at home on Thursday.
Alexia Vance finished with three goals to lead the Chargers, who outscored Oaks Christian 3-2 in the second half after a dismal 2-7 first period.
Tara Van Hoorn, Brooke Essig, Erin Bies and Liv Naaman all contributed to a tight defensive effort, said coach Sam Limkeman after the match.
“We gave them a run for their money in that second half,” Limkeman said. “Had we played that way the whole game, it may have been another story.”
Dos Pueblos (1-1) gets some time off, the team’s next match at home on Tuesday against Royal.
