Falcons win fifth straight CIF title, grind out a 9-7 victory over Cathedral Catholic in the boys CIF Open Division final at Del Norte High School
Trailing by a goal at halftime, the Torrey Pines High School boys lacrosse team found itself in unfamiliar territory.
The Falcons finished the season with a 17-4 record, following up an Avocado League championship by rolling past No. 7 seed Poway, 18-3, in the Open Division quarterfinals before overcoming a late deficit in the semifinals to eliminate No. 3 seed La Costa Canyon, 10-9. “We were facing a juggernaut tonight,” McCarthy said. “They have a dominant program, and their goalie played outstanding.”
Cathedral Catholic jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead on goals scored 15 seconds apart by sophomore Matthias Beals in the first 2:05 of the match. The Dons’ lead did not last long, however, as Torrey Pines responded with three goals within a two-minute span. Mendez and James Duncan scored to tie the score, and Mannarino tallied with 6:18 left in the opening period to give the Falcons a 3-2 lead which held firm through the end of the quarter.
Five different players scored for Francis Parker, which reached the championship final after surviving a 7-6 semifinal win over No. 4 seed San Dieguito Academy. The Lancers overcame a three-goal performance by midfielder Brady Allen of the Pointers, who had a 15-game win streak ended by just their second loss of the season against 17 wins. Both losses came against Parker, including a 6-5 regular-season defeat on March 1.
