In the 2nd Half leading goal scorer Jysabella Tolentino made her presence known with 2 Goals and an Assist in the 2nd half against Providence.
Offense wasn't the only shining spot in this game. Cal Pac Defensive Player of the Year Candidate Kayli Cokley made a very impressive diving just enough to tip the ball into the cross bar to keep the clean sheet alive.

The Records keep on rolling for the Warriors as Captain Alberte Angersbach netted 2 Assists against Providence. Those Assists secured her spot as the Warriors All Time Assist Leader in program history with a total of (13) Assists for her Career as a Warrior.
Westcliff improve their record to 8-0-2 and 4-0-1 in Cal Pac play.
Coaches' Notes
"Really great win. After being in the trenches on Thursday it was nice to get back on the ball again and look a little more us.
The early goal I actually think was a little bit of a set back for us, we smelt blood in the water too early and didn't settle into a rhythm until later in the game.
Credit to Providence they came with a good game plan and actually had some nice spells with the ball in the first half, but once we got the build out right, mainly through Jordan Moreno I thought we were in control. Couple of great team moves in the second half.
A win and yet another clean sheet. All is well in camp." - Head Coach Jack Gidney
"Great win today. I'm very proud of the team and the effort we put in to play our game. Every player gave their best which showed in our performance. We strive to keep this momentum going for the rest of the season!" - Captain Alberte Angersbach
Warriors have one final home game left on 10/20 against La Sierra at the OC Great Park Soccer Stadium. Kick off at 4:00pm
