In its traditional dark blue uniforms the EC women’s soccer team played its last game against Cerritos College, last Saturday.

This was the second time the two teams faced each other in the season and the result was the same; the EC women’s soccer team lost 8-0.

“The problems that we had all season long were still evident in today’s game,” coach John Britton said. “Failure to make tackles when it counted and the ability to head and clear the ball on defense.”

In addition, the first time the teams played Cerritos College scored 11 goals, but the Warriors were able to score one goal on Oct. 21.

“To the coaching staff there was improvement, but not enough improvement where we need it,” Britton said. “Since game one we have been asking people to make tackles and 20 games later they are still missing tackles.”

However, in the first half, the Warriors had trouble getting their offense going.

They had only one opportunity to score, but the shot was directly to the hands of Cerritos College’s goalkeeper.

Since the beginning Cerritos College showed its dominance with the ball scoring three goals in less than 20 minutes by Ashley Anaya-Webb.

Also, Anaya-Webb scored the last goal of the game.

In the first half Cerritos College scored four goals and the other four in the second half.

The fourth and sixth goals were scored by a penalty kick. The first one was scored eight minutes before the first half ended.

The second goal was scored 13 minutes after the second half started.

At end of the game, freshman goalkeeper Melissa Paramo, was substitued with sophomore Kristyn Houts because it was her last season of the team.

“We have to give to all the sophomores the opportunity to play,” Paramo said. “And she is also a goalkeeper, so she should have ended the season playing as the goalkeeper.”

Another sophomore that will be leaving the team is the forward Kendall Collard.

“It’s sad but I am ready for retirement,” Collard said. “I wished to go on. We didn’t win every game, but we won some games. I scored a lot, so that’s really exciting.”

The EC women’s soccer team ended its season 4-17.

“The season is over,” Britton said. “Nicole Gervais and I are disappointed that we didn’t get more victories.”

The team also missed chances where they could have won.

“We deserved more victories,” Britton said. “But unfortunately mistakes cost us every step of the way, and simple mistakes, but the players try and that’s all what we can ask for.”
