Buena foils DP’s shot at sharing league title

Dos Pueblos had a chance to share the Channel League girls soccer title with perennial league champion Buena on Thursday.

But a slow start cost the Chargers, as they allowed a goal in the sixth minute and wound up losing 3-1 at Buena.

“The kids were nervous,” DP coach Jose Guerrero said. “As soon as they hear Buena, they’re shaking. They were panicking.”

The Bulldogs added goals in the 18th and 50th minutes to build a 3-0 lead.

The Chargers (16-5, 5-2) got one goal back in the 60th minute when Rachel Smith finished a pass from Brandie Harris.

Dos Pueblos completes the regular season on Tuesday against San Marcos.
