Cabrillo Girls Soccer Returns to Regular Activities

If Cabrillo Head Girls Soccer Coach Derrick Wong ever decides to give up coaching he has a possible future in weather prognostication. On an afternoon in which many sporting events were postponed or moved, he chose to play at the regularly scheduled time and place. His perseverance was rewarded by skies that cleared to bright (but brief) sunshine, subsiding winds, a playable field, and a 13-1 victory over the Santa Maria Saints.

Although conditions were not ideal, they improved significantly when the rains stopped shortly after play began, and as coach Wong put it -"the girls kicked all the water out of the puddles".

His reluctance to reschedule was based on several factors - the available make-up date would have given him three games in the final week of the season, his team had very little practice time this week, and they face a three game gauntlet next week (road games at Templeton & Santa Ynez, then home versus St. Joseph).

His charges definitely unleashed all their pent up energy against the Saints - scoring early and often. Ten Conquistadores scored. Sammi Marquez had four, and the others each had one. They were: Diamone Mitchell, Shauna Melatti, Kady DeTemple, Amanda DeTemple, Sara Taylor,Fabi Ruiz, Brittany Gregory, Rebekah Rogers, and Kanani Davis.

The team is now 9-7-5, 6-1 in the Los Padres League.

Sheryl Murray's JV squad also won (2-0), with fine play in goal by Nakaihla Oliver-Ashby & Kaitlin Kilcoyne. Alicia ("Scoring Machine") Milati scored both goals. They are now 5-0-2 in LPL play. They have defeated St. Joseph (1-0), Morro Bay (3-0), Santa Maria (4-0 & 2-0), and Lompoc (2-0). The ties, both 1-1, were against Templeton and Santa Ynez - their next two opponents.
