LBCC Women’s Soccer defeated LA Harbor 9-0 at their home game on Wednesday Oct. 22.
The Vikings started strong, as they scored two goals within five minutes and the next two within 20 minutes of the game.
After the first period, the Vikings were up 5-0.
Head Coach Tino Nunez said that because the girls came out strong and got multiple goals in the beginning, that settled them in for the rest of the game.
Nunez said that it gave them confidence to continue on the rest of the game, but they kept the right approach and still played hard until the end, which got them the result they wanted.
LBCC defender Danika Hunter was really proud of how her team played because they came into the game with a really good mindset and all connected their passes.
“I think we’re all looking forward to next week, which are our two biggest games, we really want to win so we can go to the playoffs,” Hunter said.
A lot of the players on the team are new this semester, so it took some time for them to get used to playing together, but they’ve really shown that their chemistry has significantly improved.
LBCC forward Lorena Moreno is proud of how far her team has come this season and hopes that they’ll be able to make it to the state finals and take home a win.
“We were a bunch of freshmen at the start of the season, so it was hard to learn how to play together, but eventually we got to do that and now we’re winning games,” Moreno said.
After halftime the Vikings scored four more goals that resulted in their definite win.
LBCC midfielder Sydney Trump hopes her team will continue playing as they have been so that they can win their conference, the finals of all the teams in their division, so that they can go to state.
“We played well overall as a team, communicating and moving the ball around, because we’re all really working toward our goal,” Trump said.
The Vikings have had a great season, as they’ve already taken home eight wins out of 13 games, and they plan to add a 9th at Los Angeles City College Oct. 25.
