Chaffey loses out to Mother Nature but keeps seat atop CCCSIA rankings
SAN BERNARDINO - It took a few weeks, but the Chaffey College women’s soccer team found an opponent it couldn’t beat: Mother Nature.
The Panthers had their Tuesday afternoon game at San Bernardino Valley delayed, then halted in the 60th minute due to lightning, wiping out the game. But it did nothing to keep Chaffey from staying atop the California Community College Sports Information Association women’s soccer poll for a second consecutive week.
Chaffey received five of the 10 first place votes and a total of 193 points in polling of sports information professionals.
Not far behind the Panthers is Mount San Antonio at 186 points. The Mounties received three first place votes as they remain atop the South Coast Conference’s North Division, and prepare for a showdown against the South Division’s leader co-No. 15 Long Beach on Friday.
Orange Empire Conference teams take up four of the next five spots, as Santiago Canyon and its tie and one forfeit loss move up to the No. 4 spot. The team they tied Tuesday, Saddleback, moved up five spots into a tie for sixth with the conference’s third place team, Cypress, whose one defeat this season was to the Bobcats. Orange Coast drops from No. 4 to the No. 8 spot, dropping a pair of games in conference play.
In between the OEC teams at No. 5 is Folsom Lake. The Falcons remain, along with Chaffey, one of two remaining teams in the state without a loss.
Another tie in the voting results close out the top 10, as Citrus and Reedley each received 107 points in voting.
