Women’s soccer team declared national champions

Being officially ranked no. 1 in the nation makes head coach of the Cerritos College women’s soccer team Ruben Gonzalez feels as if he himself “scored in the championship.”

“I feel humble, ” he said. “The feeling has been great all day.” This is the third time the team has been ranked number one by NSCAA in the last six years.

The team played an extraordinary season ending with a record of 24-0-1, defending the state title.

Gonzalez has a very technical eye when it comes to recruiting players with specific talents to fulfill the department’s goals.

“We (coaching staff) have already started the recruiting level.” Gonzalez said. “ We try to see who we will be missing in the next couple years and try to find players with the same characteristics.”

With the women’s team being back-to-back champions, Gonzalez’s recruiting eye has proven to be successful.

Freshman defender Celinna Montano is estatic to see the teams effort honored.

“I’m very happy that we got the win and all our hard work has paid off.” Montano said. “Now we are looking forward to continuing to work hard and getting the title again next year.”

About the Contributor
Sebastian Echeverry
Sebastian Echeverry, Editor in Chief
Hello all, my name is Sebastian Echeverry and I am the Editor-in-Chief for the fall 2015 semester. I have been working for the newspaper for four semesters now and slowly climbed the ranks from staff writer, to assistant sports editor, to sports editor, news/managing editor and finally the big cheese. My interest in journalism began when the twin towers fell on September 11 and the U.S. invaded Iraq. Global news coverage of airstrikes in Baghdad plagued the media and my father who served in the Colombian military would sit with me and explain what was going on to me. I was only eight years old at the time, so putting politics aside, I was only interested in how reporters on the front lines were seeing history unfold in front of them. Since then, I enjoyed reading and writing especially about global news. My first taste of research was for a high school paper about the militias still active in the U.S. I remember sipping some brew outside on the Coffee Bean's patio and being swallowed up by data, and liking it. I Currently have a part time job at Calvin Klein, my favorite sport is soccer and I love, Barcelona, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund. I also enjoy watching hockey and my favorite team there is the Detroit Red Wings, yeah weird I know. I'm an easy person to approach and talk to and if you have story ideas let's get cracking on them! my email is: [email protected] My Twitter is: C_bass581141 My Instagram is: onlyc_bass5 and for giggles my snapchat is: onlyc_bass5
