Wearing its dark blue uniform the EC women’s soccer team came back to the EC soccer field and played its first game after five playing games away.

The EC played against East Los Angeles College and it lost 5-0 Friday Oct. 3 at the EC soccer field.

“It wasn’t our best [game]; we had moments where we got good offensively and defensively when we remind adjustments things got better, but for the most part we let a very skill player teach us some things,” coach Nicole Gervais said.

During the first five minutes of the first half of the game, the warriors had two good entrances and nice shots from sophomore Collard Kendall but her shots didn’t end up going into the net.

“I was disappointed of myself obviously because my foot wasn’t prepared to kick it, maybe my hits weren’t in the right place,” Kendall said.

Kendall also had a collision against another player of the East L.A. College team where her nose hit against the forehead of another player, but she did not get injured on the play.

However, with intense heat during the the game the two team had water breaks, where they stopped the game so the players got a break to hydrate..

The four goals were scored in the 18, 35, 58, 63 minutes and the fifth was scored almost at the end of the game in minute 87.

“The game of over all was tough and we made mistakes here and there; we’ll do better next time,” Melissa Paramo, 19, sophomore said. “As a goalkeeper is just the worst feeling in the world letting your team down, especially with a 5-0 turn out is just not a good feeling. I have to do something to get better and to do better for my team.”

The next game of the EC women’s soccer game will be Friday Oct. 10 at 2 p.m. at the EC soccer field according to the women’s soccer team schedule.

“When we cover properly things went well, when we shot down number 11 things got better; number 10 in the midfield from them took control of the game very well, so we gave them better control near the end of the game,” Gervais said.
