The MSJC women's soccer team earned their first win of the season at Palomar on Tuesday and then played a very tough Long Beach City team to a draw on Friday at HCN Bank Stadium.

The Eagles used a very strong first half on Tuesday in San Marcos as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead and won 4-0 at Palomar.  Ava Berger got the MSJC offense going in the 13th minute as she scored the day's first goal with an assist from Lorena Gonzalez.  Nathali Gasca would increase the lead to 2-0 on an unassisted goal in the 29th minute and then just before halftime in the 43rd it was Emely Sanchez off another Gonzalez assist that made it 3-0 at the break.  Kayla Garcia would add one more score for the Eagles in the 78th minute this time from a Gasca assist to round out the scoring.  Ashlyn Goade recorded the shutout in goal for MSJC, she made two saves.

Friday night in the heat at HCN Bank Stadium in Menifee it was a defensive battle with Long Beach City as the Eagles and Vikings went to halftime locked in a 0-0 tie.  LBCC would score the night's first goal as they finally broke through in the 50th minute, but MSJC would strike right back when Gasca scored on a corner kick in the 53rd to even the match.  Neither team could find the back of the net again and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.  Goade again played all 90 minutes in goal for the Eagles making 4 saves on the night.

The Eagles, who are now 1-2-1 on the season, play a pair of home matches this week.  MSJC will host Imperial Valley Wednesday at 5 pm and Porterville Friday at 3 pm, both games will be at HCN Bank Stadium in Menifee.
