McLeod Leads No. 2 Marina Over No. 5 San Clemente

The Vikings bounced back from a Sunset League loss to Edison earlier in the week and held San Clemente standout Debby Caine scoreless in the first half en route to a 28-15 halftime lead.

Caine scored 15 second-half points but it was too little too late.
