Fresno City, Cypress go 1-2 in initial 2019 CCCSIA women's soccer poll

RIVERSIDE - In the first California Community College Sports Information Association (CCCSIA) women’s soccer poll of the 2019 season, it is Fresno City that takes over the top spot by a sizable amount of votes. Cypress followed at second overall, while Lake Tahoe was edged for third overall.

Fresno City has gotten off to a strong start by defeating a pair of Southern opponents in Citrus and East LA, while taking down two Northern teams in Las Positas and American River.  They have not allowed a single goal this season while outscoring their opponents 11-0. Their first two games saw 1-0 scores, but their second two scores saw wide scoring margins (5-0 vs. ELAC & 4-0 vs. ARC).

No. 2 Lake Tahoe, who reached the CCCAA State Championship as the top seed from the North, has gotten off to another strong start by beginning the season on a 4-0-1 run. They have allowed just two goals while scoring 15. One of their victories came against No. 4 Cerritos by the final of 4-1 just last week. They were just one game away from earning their first ever State Championship in program history.

No. 3 Cypress is one of four Orange Empire Conference (OEC) to reach the top-20 as they are accompanied by defending champion No. 5 Santiago Canyon, No. 8 Fullerton and No. 14 Santa Ana. No. 6 Folsom Lake has earned three wins thus far and one tie highlighted by the Tie over No. 3 Lake Tahoe and a commanding 6-1 victory over No. 20 West Hills Lemoore. They will face off against No. 9 San Joaquin Delta for their conference opener in mid-September.

No. 7 San Diego Mesa runs the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference thus far with a flawless 4-0 record. No. 10 Sierra has earned a 4-1 record in a league that has three other ranked opponents – No. 6 Folsom Lake, No. 9 San Joaquin Delta and No. 11 Santa Rosa.
