The Palisades High girls soccer team puts its undefeated record on the line Monday against Santa Monica in the teams’ annual “Battle of the Beach” showdown and when the final whistle blew the host Vikings had prevailed 1-0, retaining the perpetual trophy it earned in a 3-1 win last winter.
After a scoreless first half in which each team had two shots, freshman striker Sydney Forsyth scored the only goal 10 minutes into the second half and Palisades was unable to net the equalizer, suffering its first loss this season.
