The San Marcos girls soccer team completed the first-round of Channel League play unbeaten after a 3-1 win at Dos Pueblos on Tuesday.
The 5-0 Royals scored in the 12th minute on some nice combination play. Evony Diaz took her defender one on one and played the ball to Sophia Orozco inside the box. Orozco fed Rebecca Rodriguez for a tap-in goal.
Diaz and Orozco combined on the second gol in the 28th minute. Diaz won the ball back from a defender and crossed to Orozco, who blasted a shot past the goalkeeper.
Orozco scored the third goal on a cross from Eden Larazus.
Riley Roggero scored for Dos Pueblos on a 30-yard blast.
DP captain Precious Nwous played well at both ends of the field, said coach Seth Asuncion
“We knew that tonight’s match was going to be a hard-fought match,” said Asuncion. “The players left everything on the field. As a young team we are improving every game and finding our rhythm.”
Dos Pueblos is 1-3.
