The Carpinteria High girls soccer team went into halftime with a 2-1 lead at Villanova and then went on a goal-scoring rampage that earned it a 7-1 victory.
Freshman Monica Garcia led the offensive eruption, scoring three of the Warriors’ five second-half goals.
“I didn’t change up a bunch of positions or anything,” head coach Lucy Carlton said. “I think the girls put their mind to it a litte better than in the first half.”
The only half-time adjustment made was to assign Alyssa Freeman as a personal marker on Villanova’s top goal scorer. Freeman’s defensive effort, as well as a solid performance from goalkeeper Tania Arroyo, helped Carpinteria to a shutout in the second half.
The Warriors (2-0 Frontier League, 7-3-1 overall) will continue their season at home on Tuesday against Santa Clara.
