Looks like the South Bay could have a rising boys lacrosse power in Mira Costa.

 

The Mustangs claimed the Carmel Invitational, going unbeaten in five matches, including a 7-2 victory over Oakland Bishop O'Dowd in the final.

 

Mira Costa also beat Thacher, 10-4, San Francisco Lick Wilmerding, 11-6, Scotts Valley, 12-0 and Bella Vista of Fair Oaks, 9-3, before dispatching Bishop O'Dowd in the final.

 

Thomas Farrell had seven goals and 10 assists to lead a high-powered Mira Costa offense. Joe Marielli had nine goals, and Dakota Randall contributed six goals and seven assists for Mira Costa.

 

Sean Donohue, who was an all-tournament selection, anchored the defense for Mira Costa.

 

"It was a great team effort with unselfish play and solid interior passing," Coach Dave Vinci said.

 

Palos Verdes went 1-3 on the weekend in a higher division, beating Cathedral but sustaining losses to St. Margaret's, Atherton Menlo and Rancho Bernardo. Mullen beat Rancho Bernardo in the bracket final.
