In that game, the
Falcons took a 2-0 in the first half on two late
goals. In the 40th minute, freshman
Salina
Flores (Los Alamitos HS) scored
on a nice free kick from 30 yards out, as she bent
the ball around the defense and past San Bernardino
Valley goalkeeper Maria Magana. Just two minutes
later, sophomore forward
Monique
Cisneros (Mayfair HS)
registered a goal after receiving a long pass from
freshman forward
Liliana Leos
(Southeast HS). Cisneros was able to run
under the pass and followed with a hard shot into
the goal. However, in this game, the team will be
without the services of Leos, who is out with an
injury.
The Wolverines
cut the Cerritos lead to 2-1 when the Falcons
attempted to clear the ball and it deflected
off Julie Diaz, who was credited with the goal
after it went over the head of
freshman goalkeeper
Tiffany Hollis (Lakewood HS).
Sophomore goalkeeper
Chantal Cervero (Cerritos HS)
played the first half for the Falcons and made
three saves.
Cerritos
regained their two-goal advantage in the 78th
minute, as Flores showed again how deadly she
can be with a free kick. This time, she was 35
yards out and drilled a powerful shot into the
net for her second of the game and fourth of the
season. The Wolverines made it interesting when
Marisa Zamorez lined a shot over the head of
Hollis in the 85th minute. Hollis posted four
saves in the second half. San Bernardino
Valley is the only team this season to score two
goals on the Falcons.
With a win,
the Falcons will host the winner of the
#8-seeded Moorpark College (12-4-4) versus
#9-seeded Los Angeles Pierce College (18-3-3)
game. The second round game will be on Tuesday,
November 25.
