SBVC women finally get a goal
Finally, some action.
The San Bernardino Valley College women have taken a 1-0 lead over Santa Rosa in the California Community College Athletic Association state title game at College of the Canyons.
With 17:56 left in the game Mariela Ortega was taken down in the penalty box by Santa Rosa's Lauren Romano. Crystal Sanchez converted the penalty kick to give the Wolverines a 1-0 lead.
That could do it. That was the first official shot on goal. Neither team has had a quality scoring chance. Now they need to play defense and a first state title will be theirs.
There have been 9 shots for San Bernardino and 5 for Santa Rosa but the penalty shot was the lone one on goal.
