EC women’s soccer team net one in win over Pasadena City College
On a cloudy and cool afternoon the EC women’s soccer (Warriors) team won 1-0 against Pasadena City College (Lancers), Friday Oct. 24.
The game was not a repeat of their first match, the Warriors lost 1-0, and the game was played in the Lancers’ home Oct. 7.
“This game was like our first game against to Pasadena we dominated the first game, we didn’t score,” Coach John Britton said. “Today we were lucky enough to get a decent goal.”
Britton also said that they could score more goals because the warriors had many chances.
This is the third victory of the EC women’s soccer team in the season so far, (3-14) (2-8).
However, in the first half the warriors have a good game, they were attacking more and they creating good passes.
In addition to that they scored a goal but the referee nullified the it because one of the warriors was offside.
Later in the first time after being attacking the warriors obtained the winning goal by a nice cross pass shot it by freshman midfielder Rocio Najera.
“I was happy when I scored,” Najera said. “Thanks to my teammates because obviously they helped me get there, the goal was very tough it was from a cross obviously and it was a good goal, it came to my feet and I scored.”
The communication of the team has improved a lot, but the women’s soccer team has to work more in improving its tackles so they can complete their passes and have better precision in their shots.
“We did great. Our hard work had pay off today,” sophomore goalkeeper Melissa Paramo said. “I definitely we could score at least five more goals but win is a win. We kept out the aggressiveness, and our offensive did pretty well too.”
However, in the second time the warriors have a different game, they looked more tired and their attack was less.
Britton is pleased with this result and he added that he hopes the team got some confident and they can win the upcoming games.
“We have four games left, two are definitely winnable, the other two are a lot harder,” Britton said.
