  DOWNEY – Pacifica had the lead and the momentum late in the first half of its CIF Southern Section girls soccer title game Saturday morning, but a defensive lapse took away the Mariners’ advantage, and an injury extracted a heavier price.
  Top-seeded Pacifica couldn’t overcome the loss of leading scorer Alexa Riddle just before the break, and No. 3 Flintridge Prep got two second-half goals and an assist from freshman Makenna Dominguez to claim the Division 3 championship with a
