First eat pasta, then play soccer

Right now, their grub is on. Pasta. Lots of it. So, I’m guessing a big game must be looming. You see, the food is the clue.

Tomorow, Mira Costa girls’ soccer plays Redondo, so now it’s Dinner Night -- a tradition where the Mustangs hang out and chow down the night before a soccer showdown. ‘A team dinner builds unity,’ said Mira Costa Coach Patty Perkinson. ‘It’s a bonding experience.’

The Mustangs (8-1-4) are bonding quite well -- led by UC Santa Barbara-bound Laura Capparilli (10 goals) and Sonoma State recruits, Katie Parucha and Taylor Edmonds.

Hopefully, the players won’t eat too much. ‘That’s impossible,’ Perkinson said. ‘They’re growing girls.’

Tomorrow’s game is at 3 p.m. at Mira Costa. Go check it out.
