Junior Lexi Wright scored a pair of first half goals to power No. 4 Carlsbad which opened defense of its back-to-back Avocado West League titles with a 2-0 victory over No. 2 host Torrey Pines Tuesday night, Jan. 14.

The result lifted the Lancers to 10-2 overall and dropped the Falcons to 6-2-4.

The game reversed the outcome of a neutral site, pre-season tournament match-up between the two sides where Torrey Pines prevailed, 1-0. Carlsbad was without the services of Wright in that one but she was a difference-maker last night for first-year Head Coach Katie Tarrant who was happy with her team’s performance. (more)
