The Pacifica Christian High School’s girls soccer team scored four second-half goals to come from behind and defeat Capistrano Valley Christian 4-1 to secure its first league win of the season Wednesday.

The Tritons, 1-2-1 in the San Joaquin League and 9-5-3 overall, were led by junior forward Talia Proctor who scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to secure the win.

Junior Maggie Contreras had a goal and an assist and freshman forward Lana Stewart notched her 23rd goal of the season.

The win comes at a much-needed time for the Tritons, who bounced back after dropping two league games to Western Christian and The Webb School last week. 

“It was a big win for us,” said Coach Brandon Gonzalez. “The win means we still control our own destiny and while a league title is technically not out of the question, our playoff route is still controlled by us, and that is important.”
