It may have been the 2019 opener for the Torrey Pines girls soccer team but senior captain Tatum Lenain showed that she was already in mid-season form Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 3, scoring a pair of goals to lead her Falcons to an impressive, 3-1, victory over Orange County powerhouse Mater Dei in the first match of the annual Butch Lee Memorial Tournament (hosted by Cathedral Catholic).

Under ninth-year Head Coach Martyn Hansford, Torrey Pines won CIF Open Division titles in 2016 and ’17 but after running up a combined record of 30-6-10 the past two years, was twice eliminated from the CIF Playoffs as a first-round favorite.
