some defensive adjustments. In Portola Valley, host Priory (4-0, 7-2-2) got two goals from senior Darrah Shields plus single goals from Eugenia Jernick, Laura Wu, Molly Simpson and Siobhan Gillis while taking care of MercyBurlingame. The Panthers next will host King’s Academy on Saturday at 11 a.m. In Atherton, Menlo School remained within reach of the leaders in the WBAL Foothill Division with a 3-1 victory over visiting Castilleja. The Knights (2-1, 4-4-2) jumped in front early as sophomore Sienna Stritter connected from 18 yards out unassisted. Castilleja (0-3, 1-7) equalized five minutes later when sophomore Gabby Kaplan scored off an assist from senior Emily Mosbacher. Menlo regained the lead at 30 minutes as sophomore Chandler Wickers followed up a shot by Ellie Still and scored from close range. Then 15 minutes into the second half, Wickers headed in a cross from Lindsay Karle. Menlo dominated possession and outshot Castilleja, 30-10. Menlo’s backs — senior Shannon Lacy, junior Hannah Rubin, sophomore Stritter, and freshmen Alex Walker — played well by limiting Castilleja’s attacking opportunities. Menlo goalies Julia Dressel (five saves) and Kelly McConnell (four saves) split time in goal as usual. In the PAL Bay Division, MenloAtherton made a solid statement to belonging among the best of the division by deadlocking co-leader Carlmont, 1-1, on Tuesday in Belmont. Jenn Kirst scored her 13th goal of the season on assist from Meryssa Thompson in the 21st minute for the Bears (2-2-1, 6-4-1) while Carlmont (4-0-1, 6-2-3) equalized it off corner around the 70th minute. In the SCVAL De Anza Division on Wednesday, Gunn took on the best and put up a fight before dropping a 3-1 decision to visiting Los Gatos. The teams played even for the first 70 minutes after Gunn’s Haleli Moalem scored in the first half to deadlock things at 1-1. The Wildcats (4-0, 10-0-1) ended the tie with a goal in the 70th minute and added a third tally when the Titans (1-2-1, 5-6-1) moved everyone up in attempt to deadlock the match once again. Gunn coach Damian Cohen singled out defenders Liza Marinaro, Bella Harbert, Alyssa Perreault and Laura Hayward for solid efforts.
