The Cerritos College women's soccer
team clinched at least a share of their first South
Coast Conference championship in school history after
their 4-0 home win over Los Angeles Harbor College on
Friday. The victory also increased their record winning
streak to 13 games, as they improved to 18-1-0 overall
and 10-0-0 in conference play. Ranked third in the
state, the Falcons will now travel to third place Long
Beach City College next Tuesday before closing out the
regular season next Friday at El Camino College with
both games starting at 1:00 p.m.
In the first half, Cerritos played
without four of their starters, but two of the team's
top scorers hooked up for the first goal in the 15th
minute. Freshman midfielder
Karina Rivera
(Garfield HS)
sent a pass to sophomore
Laura Alvarez
(Cantwell HS),
who lifted a shot over the Seahawks goalie to give the
Falcons an early 1-0 lead. Top goal scorer
Monica
Cedillo (Long
Beach Millikan HS) picked up her 14th goal
on the year in the 19th minute when she scored on a
corner kick off a pass from sophomore
Jackie Flores
(Lynwood HS).
Sophomore
Diana Limon
(Long Beach
Millikan HS), who was in goal in place of
sophomore
Elizabeth
Sanchez (Bachillerato
#30, Mexico HS) turned away all three shots
she faced in the first half, but saw the Seahawks hit
the crossbar for their best scoring opportunity of the
day. Freshman
Monica
Rodriguez (Long
Beach Millikan HS) was in goal for the
second half and helped preserve the shutout by making
two saves.
Cerritos picked up two more goals in
the second half, as sophomore
Sandra Jacobo
(Long Beach
Millikan HS) scored after receiving a pass
from Flores in the 52nd minute. Rivera closed out the
scoring in the 75th minute after sophomore
Monique Hudson
(Long Beach
Millikan HS) hustled to a ball that everyone
on the field thought was off side. After getting to the
ball, she sent a chip over to Rivera, who scored.
On the day, the Falcons took 26 shots
to just five for the Seahawks, who fell to 4-11-4
overall and 1-7-3 in the SCC. |
