For the 12th time this season, the Cerritos College women's soccer team recorded a shutout, as they posted a 4-0 South Coast Conference win over visiting Long Beach City College on Friday. The win by the nation's top-ranked Falcons (17-0-1, 11-0-1) clinches their eighth consecutive conference title. With two games remaining, the team will host Pasadena City College next Tuesday and then close out the regular season on Friday at Mt. San Antonio College, who the Falcons hold a seven-point lead over after their tie against Pasadena City.
In the win over the Vikings (10-5-3, 6-4-2), Cerritos scored a pair of goals in the first half and dominated the tempo of the game with possession of the ball for the majority of the contest. The scoring opened in the 16th minute when freshman Demi Lomeli (Bishop Amat HS) took the initial shot that was saved by LBCC goalkeeper Karen Nuno (seven saves). The she allowed a rebound and freshman Carolina Ornelas (Artesia HS) was right in front of the net and chipped home the ball for her 12th goal of the season.
Before the end of the first half, freshman Clara Gomez (El Modena HS) picked up her second goal of the year, as she finished off an offensive rush in the 32nd minute. Freshman Cassidy Hodson (Villa Park HS) took the offensive pressure toward the Viking net and sent a shot at the net, where Gomez was there to knock the ball into the net for a 2-0 lead at intermission.
The second half was more of the same, as the Falcons dominated the play, as they scored twice in the final 10 minutes of the game. On a corner kick in the 81st minute, freshman Cassie Reyes (Bishop Amat HS) sent the ball to the far post, where Requejo was there to poke the ball into the corner of the net for her first of two goals. Requejo finished off the scoring in the final seconds with a penalty kick, which was her 22nd goal of the season.
In net, sophomore Alexis Carrillo (Bishop Amat HS) improved her record to 11-0-1 with four saves on the day. Carrillo has also had a hand in all 12 shutouts this season.
