COSTA MESA, Calif. — Stanton opened its Cal Pac conference journey in style, delivering a convincing 3-1 victory in their first-ever conference matchup.
The Elks wasted no time testing the defense, finding the net within seconds of the opening whistle, though the early strike was ruled offside. Undeterred, Stanton kept the pressure high and found its breakthrough in the 36th minute when Francesco De Marco, in classic fashion, buried the game's first official goal.
Momentum stayed on Stanton's side as Lorenzo Jacon doubled the lead just before halftime, striking in the 44th minute to send the Elks into the break with confidence and control.
The Warriors managed to cut into the lead with a lone second-half goal, but Stanton quickly shut the door. Isiah Hamelin sealed the match with a decisive finish, securing the Elks' first conference win and capping off a strong team performance.
With a historic victory in their Cal Pac debut, Stanton proved they are ready to compete and make their mark in conference play.
