Anna Duncan then completed the scoring for the night with a hard-hit shot 14 minutes later, unassisted.

Garfield’s smothering defense went on to shut down the Mustangs in the second half to seal the team’s second league victory.

Goal keeper Sarah Whitney earned the shutout.

The win boosted Garfield’s record to 2-0-2 (5-1-3) and dropped Remond to 2-2-1 (3-4-3).

The Bulldogs next play Eastlake at home in Memorial Stadium on Thursday night at 7:30 pm. Eastlake is 1-0-3 (3-1-6) and is most recently coming off a 0-0 tie with Inglemoor.

Lou Cuevas, reporting: After taking a 1-0 first half lead on an Emma D’Allessandro goal, and dominating play, the Garfield JV were caught by wave after wave of Mustang attacks in the second half and lost 4-1.

Injuries, illness and school work have prevented a full squad from taking the field the last few games, leaving coach Megan Price with few subs.  The JVs are now 0-3-1 ( 4-4-1 ) with league power Eastlake on Thursday and Holy Names on a rare Saturday morning.
