Women’s Soccer break losing streak

On October 17, 2017, Hartnell Women's Soccer Team broke its four-game losing streak against Chabot College! During a casual conversation with Head Coach Ivan Guerrero before the game, he expressed some of the difficulties the team has been facing in the past few weeks, stating “Practice has been good, we're just trying to have that translate into some wins since it can be a bit discouraging when it doesn't go your way.” And indeed, practice and perseverance did translate into a win that would ultimately break their losing streak! With a 6-1, final score. The Lady Panthers were prepared when they faced the Gladiators last week. Sophomore Chace Miguel (#16) ensured Hartnell’s victory by scoring 4 goals and assisting fellow sophomore Arianna Sandoval (#11) on scoring 2! Sophomores Diana Lopez (#13) and Jocelyn Gonzalez (#22) each assisted Miguel for the initial 4 goals. Goalkeeper and sophomore, Marian Isabel-Pozos (#99) blocked 5 shots on goal and had four saves! In the same game, freshmen, Victoria Dorado (#26) blocked one shot on goal and had one save. “Our defensive effort was pretty good. Although, they scored, we didn't allow them many shots on goal and our forwards were very consistent.” Coach continued to explain that the team had been suffering in terms of not making the goals. The past few games, the Lady Panthers have had many shots on goal, however they had not been able to get the ball in the net. With a final score of 6-1, Hartnell’s record improves to an overall record of 6-8-0. “Today we took care of what we were supposed to do, individually and as a team. Now we just have to get ready for next week, since we have three away games,” concluded Coach Guerrero. Go Panthers!
