MILL VALLEY, CA — Big games can intimidate less experienced players, but all indications are Tuesday’s pivotal showdown didn’t faze Katie Lowenstein much.

Tamalpais (9-2-6, 7-1-3 MCAL) with the win moved into sole possession of second place ahead of Redwood (10-2-2, 8-2-2) and within striking distance of first-place Branson (13-1-1, 9-1-1).

Kendra Weisman had seven saves as Tamalpais’ goaltending standout earned her sixth shutout. Her goals-against average fell to 0.4.

Lowenstein scored off a Stella Espiansse corner kick.

Sophomore defender Gabby Hoeberichts had an assist on the game’s only goal.

“Technical and strong she was a key reason we had many of the chances in the game.

The Tamalpais coaches acknowledged their opponent presented a formidable challenge.
