Long Beach City College attacker Federico Gulisano scored 7 goals to help lead the Vikings to their 21-5 championship victory against Mt San Antonio in the South Coast Conference Tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This win had impacts beyond more than just a championship victory in this conference for the Vikings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt puts us in a really good position for rankings for the regional championship, which should make our path a little easier,\u201d Head coach Djoko Radunovic said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defense of the Vikings stepped up in this match, giving them a great opportunity to have a dominant win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goalie only touched the ball about 4 times in the first half, which means our defense was spectacular,\u201d LBCC goalkeeper Mauricio Bonilla said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this first half, the Vikings outscored Mt. San Antonio 12-1 scoring on most trips down the pool and had very few turnovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorking as a team was definitely important for us as well as the energy off the bench,\u201d Viking attacker Elijah Webb said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the blowout victory, the team recognizes that there is always room for improvement, and growth especially with the increasingly difficult competition they will be facing in future tournaments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCommunication is one thing we can always improve and also not getting stupid ejections. Playing smart defense.\u201d Webb said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a common message throughout the team that says that they can not be satisfied with just this victory, but also continue to get better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe celebrate tonight, but the next thing we have is regionals, so we gotta stay focused for that,\u201d Bonilla said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first match of the SoCal Regionals tournament for the Vikings will be on Thursday, Nov. 13 at Southwestern College. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
