SBVC bolstered by goalie quartet

Most soccer coaches don't have the luxury of more than one good keeper. So San Bernardino Valley College women's coach Kristin Hauge considers herself blessed. She has four. It's one of the reasons the Wolverines (15-5-3) were able to clinch the first Foothill Conference title in school history and notch a school-record number of wins.

The SBVC quartet is led by sophomore Jackie Jaime (Kaiser HS) and also includes freshmen Natalie Guevara (Rialto), Maria Magana (Arroyo Valley) and Vanessa Vasquez (Moreno Valley Canyon Springs).

Hauge said she watches all four warm up before a game before making the decision on who will start.

"It's a bummer because it's hard to get them all playing time," she said. "They good thing is that they all work well together and they push each other every day in practice."

Magana got most of the playing time early and has a 1.35 goals against average in 1,197 minutes. Jaime, the starter last year, has seen more playing time of late because of her experience working with backfield defenders Serina Stephens, Tiffany Jones and Brianna Jones. Jaime has an 0.57 average in 636 minutes.

The Wolverines have totaled 11 shutouts with just one game left in the regular season, a 3 p.m. game at Chaffey on Wednesday.
