Freshman midfielder
Rebecca Juarez
(Jurupa Valley HS)
scored two goals and assisted on four others, as the
Cerritos College women's soccer team concluded their
regular season with a 6-1 South Coast Conference win at
home against El Camino College. The #2-seeded Falcons
captured their first conference championship in school
history and posted a perfect 12-0-0 mark, while they are
20-1-0 on the year. The will now open the Southern
California Regional Playoffs at home next Saturday
against a team to be determined at the seeding meeting,
which will take place on Tuesday.
After a tight first half, with
Cerritos holding a 1-0 lead, they scored their five
second half goals in 17 minutes, with a trio of players
accounting for all of the goals in the game. Sophomore
midfielder
Diana Limon
(Long Beach
Millikan HS) gave Cerritos a 1-0 lead in the
42nd minute when she turned in the box and sent the ball
into the corner of the net after receiving a pass from
Juarez. Freshman
Monica
Cedillo (Long
Beach Millikan HS) started the scoring
barrage in the 51st minute when she received a pass in
the box from Juarez, while Juarez connected with Limon
in the 55th minute. Juarez lifted a high pass to the far
corner of the net that landed on Limon's foot, who
tapped the ball into the net past Warrior keeper Emily
Rodin.
It was a 4-0 game in the 60th minute
when Cedillo headed in a corner kick by Juarez before
the Warriors got on the board, as Tiffany Martinez sent
a lofting shot that went over the outstretched hands of
Falcon goalkeeper
Elizabeth
Sanchez (Bachillerato
#30, Mexico HS) in the 64th minute. Not more
than a minute later, Juarez scored the first of her two
goals when she scored the exact same way, by lifting a
shot over Rodin's hands, while a hard shot by Juarez
from the top of the box off a pass from Cedillo
accounted for the sixth Falcon goal. |
