Citrus Makes It Rain Against PCC

Citrus College made it rain in the rain, blasting Pasadena City College 4-0 in the Owls' home opener to remain undefeated (3-0) on the year. The Lancers drop to 1-3-1 on the year with the loss.

Four minutes later, Salas got on the other end of a goal after Samantha Casas drove a ball across the face of the goal and Salas tucked it away, 2-0.

The Owls kept the pressure on and Salas found the back of the net once again less than four minutes later. Iledza Rodriguez curved a ball in behind the Lancer defense, allowing Salas to run onto it and tap it in on her first touch, 3-0.

PCC tried to keep Citrus from blowing the game out, but Casas capped the scoring in the 78^th minute off a Sandra Balderas assist. After the Owls were awarded a corner kick, Balderas swung a perfect cross to the top of the six-yard box where Casas beat a defender to head it into the goal, 4-0.

Maddy Moris made four saves to keep the Owls' clean sheet, extending Citrus' shutout streak to 270 minutes.
