It's rare for the Cerritos College women's soccer team to play from behind. But that's what they had to do in their non-conference game at Ventura College on Sunday. The Falcons, ranked #5 in the country by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, were down 1-0 after the first 15 minutes when Breanna Naranjo took two touches from outside the 18-yard box to put the ball past freshman goalkeeper Maria Santoyo (Universidad de Guadalajara HS) for a 1-0 Pirates lead. 

But that advantage lasted for just two minutes, as freshman defender Alyssa Cabral (Bishop Amat HS) sent a beautiful ball to freshman midfielder Jazmin Aguas (San Pasqual HS), who was open in the 18-yard box. Facing Ventura goalkeeper Katelyn White in a one-on-one situation, Aguas was able to tie the game with a beautiful shot. The game would not stay tied for long, as in the 25th minute Cerritos took the lead and wouldn't relinquish it the rest of the way. Aguas started a rush up the field, where she sent a pass to freshman forward Claudia Ibarra (Universidad de Guadalajara HS), who scored on a one-timer to give the Falcons the lead for good. Santoyo helped secure the win by making 10 saves on the day, while White finished with nine stops.
