TC Women’s Soccer Winning in Pink
Taft College’s Women’s Soccer Team on the Move
By Michael Clites
During the week of October Sixth through the tenth Taft College was sporting pink all throughout the school in order to show support for breast cancer awareness. Not only the students and faculty, but athletes as well. One way athletes around the nation like to show their support for breast cancer is by combining pink somewhere into their uniform during a game. Taft College’s women soccer team was sporting pink jerseys during their game against league rival, College of the Sequoias, on October 10th.
The game couldn’t have gone any better for the Lady Cougars as they stampeded their way over C.O.S (College of the Sequoias).Within the first three-minutes of the game, middle fielder Rebecca Vasquez scored the Cougar’s first goal. But the scoring wouldn’t stop there for Taft. Along with Rebecca, Ariel Manzano, Celia Rangel, and Anyela Jimenez all scored in the first half of play. Six unanswered points were put up by the Lady Cougars in the first half, putting C.O.S in quite a predicament early.
The score would remain 6-0 in the second half, giving the Lady Cougars yet another win on their record. Taft’s women soccer now has a winning record of nine wins, three losses, and one tie.
Maybe it was the pink jersey’s that had gotten the Lady Cougars fired up on Friday’s game, or maybe it’s the fact that it was the first league game. Without being said, TC women’s soccer has one simple goal in mind, and that is to win. So far, this goal is being accomplished and could bring some exciting momentum to the team. This momentum will definitely be needed as the Lady Cougars travel to West Hills College this Friday for yet another crucial league match-up.
So keep your eyes and ears open for TC women’s soccer, and show your support for the Lady Cougars. Their talent is far to substantial to go unnoticed by students of the college.
