Palos Verdes' boys soccer team turned a big second half into a 2-0 Bay League victory over rival Peninsula and stayed close to first-place Leuzinger in the league standings in the process.

Zach Petow scored in the 52nd minute on a free kick from 20 yards out to give Palos Verdes (9-4-2, 2-1) a 1-0 lead.

"Petow hit a brilliant shot that I don't think any goalkeeper is going to save," Palos Verdes coach Bruce Myhre said. "Then we were just chasing, scrapping and giving it our all."

Conor Burke added an insurance goal in the 70th minute from 25 yards out. Matthew McNab made eight saves to record the shutout for Palos Verdes.

"Peninsula kept possession of the ball better than we did, but we just hung in there," Myhre said.

Second-place Palos Verdes will try to stay close to Leuzinger (3-0 in league) when it plays at defending league champion West Torrance on Friday. Peninsula (0-1-1 in league) will try to regroup when it hosts Mira Costa on Friday.
