For the first 728
minutes she played in goal, Cerritos College
freshman
Laura Ropp
(Lakewood HS) had not allowed an opponent
to score on her. But, with just four minutes left in
a 1-1 tie against visiting El Camino College, Ropp
saw a slow roller from Justine Zavala go between her
legs and the Warriors posted a 2-1 upset over the
Falcons. The loss drops the Falcons record to 18-2-0
overall and 11-2-0 in SCC with just one regular
season game remaining. Cerritos will host East Los
Angeles College at 3:00 p.m. on Friday.
After falling
behind 1-0 in the 27th minute on a goal by KayC
Wharton, as her chip shot bounced slowly in the net
after it got over freshman goalkeeper
Erika Trejo's
(Artesia HS) head. Trejo came out to cut
the ball down, but Wharton was able to get to the
ball and lift it over Trejo for a goal. The two
goals by El Camino are only the fifth and sixth
goals Cerritos has allowed all season.
But prior to the
end of the first half, Cerritos tied the game in the
40th minute as freshman
Jessica
Ortiz (Narbonne HS) lifted a
crossing ball to freshman
Victoria Florez (Bishop Amat
HS), who scored off the pass and into the net.
Trejo made one
save in the first 45 minutes, while Ropp posted one
in the final 45 minutes. Alicia Sala made 11 saves
for the Warriors, as the Falcons attempted 16 shots.
In the 71st
minute, Cerritos had a chance to take the lead, but Viridiana
Ortega's (Fremont HS) shot hit
the crossbar. Aside from the two goals, the Falcons
controlled the tempo the majority of the game and
allowed El Camino just five shots on goal.
