The Rams struggled offensively, managing to score their first goal just before halftime.

“When we get into a ryhthm we can get our offense going, but for some reason that wasn’t the case today,” said Cate head coach Nathan Alldredge.

Cate staked Mayfield a 5-1 halftime lead before faring better in the second half.

“Their set was a really strong player so we just started doubling on her and that helped us a lot,” said Kammer, Cate’s leading scorer on the season.

Cate travels to Hueneme for its final game of 2009 on Wednesday.
