Falcons batter Golden West

Falcons batter Golden West

The Cerritos women’s soccer team is off to a good start as it pulled off a 9-0 non-conference win against Golden West College on its home turf, Tuesday.

The Falcons maintained a 5-0 lead through the first half and added four more in the second.

Cerritos will now ravel to Cuesta College where it will face off against Santa Rosa this Friday at 4 p.m.

In the first half, defender, Nancy Gutierrez, scored the first goal of the game with a penalty kick, which was immediately followed by Karina Rivera’s two goals, the second off which was off a rebound of a shot on goal by Laura Alvarez.

Gutierrez felt that the team played well for a first game. Gutierrez just returned from playing in a tournament in Russia with the Mexican Under-19 National Team. “This will help us out with our confidence for the rest of the season,” Gutierrez added.

Rebecca Juarez and Alvarez would close out the first half scoring one goal a piece in the 32nd and 35th minutes, respectively.

Gutierrez would also score the first goal of the second half off of a running shot, which was followed by a goal made by Diana Limon.

Alvarez and Juarez added another goal each. Jackie Flores and Sandra Jacobo helped propel the scoring with two assists a piece and goalkeeper Elizabeth Sanchez made three saves in the shutout.

The Falcons controlled the game from the start.

They played aggressively on both offense and defense, keeping the possession of the ball for the majority of the game. That left little opportunity for the opposing team to score.

In total the Falcons recorded 25 shots on goal and had five different players score goals.
