Something happened to the Taos defense Tuesday.It disappeared.
Bad for Taos, good for the Capital Lady Jaguars as they scored in overtime to win the District 2AAAA girls soccer match 2-1.
Four minutes into the first overtime, Capital's Janette Perez took a pass from Melissa Chavez and scored.
"For some reason, no Taos players were near her," Bobby Garcia, Capital head coach, said. "She took a shot from 16 yards out and put it in the top of the net."
It wasn't the only breakdown for the Lady Tigers.
In the 72nd minute, Melissa Chavez took a rebound from a Brittany Rodriguez shot and tied the score at 1.
Jackie Valerio scored for Taos in the 5th minute.
The victory was a first against Taos for Garcia.
"It's huge," he said. "In the 10 years I've been coaching, we've never beaten Taos. So it's a huge victory for us."
Garcia credited the defense of Teresa Najeka, Matiza Ochoa, Jasmine Flores and Jasmine Bonilla.
The Lady Jaguars are (3-12 overall, 2-2 in 2AAAA).

Albuquerque La Cueva 3, Santa Fe High 0
Once again, Game 2 overshadowed an otherwise inspired performance from the Demonettes in a District 2AAAAA match in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium.
The third-ranked Lady Bears won, 25-21, 25-13, 27-25.
Santa Fe High (5-11 overall, 1-2 2AAAA) had La Cueva down 18-16 in Game 1 before the Lady Bears closed with a 9-3 spurt. Game 3 was tied at 25-all before La Cueva closed out the match.
But Game 2 was a sore spot for Demonettes head coach Sam Estrada.
"Once again, we tanked it in the second game," Estrada said. "We had service error after service error and we just didn't shake it off."
Shivaughn Hatt led Santa Fe High with nine kills, while Kamille Borrego-Ojinaga had six. Borrego-Ojinaga also had 10 digs on the defensive side.
