Cedar Valley Women's Soccer Off to Solid Start

Dallas College Cedar Valley women's soccer team opened the season with a 3-2 victory over Trinity Valley Community College. Briana Puente scored two goals on three shots on goal, Khilyssa White had a goal and an assist, while Makayla Mohair added an assist.

Two days later, Cedar Valley welcomed Paris Junior College, but ultimately fell, 6-0. Goalkeeper Lawson McConnell made five saves for the Suns. 

In the first road match of the season, the Suns endured a couple-hour weather delay in a 4-1 loss at Cisco College. Mohair scored off a pretty corner kick in the 28th minute as the Suns cut a 2-0 deficit in half. But Cisco added a pair of first half goals off a couple of Cedar Valley breakdowns to make it a three-goal game. 

Cedar Valley kept Cisco off the board in the second half. McConnell made 14 saves.

Following a 3-0 loss to Ranger College, the Suns responded with a 9-0 whitewashing of Southwestern Adventist University Tuesday. Puente, who leads the team with five goals and 12 points, notched her first career hat trick, while adding an assist for a seven-point night. Litzi Posada and Mohair each scored two goals, and White had a goal and two assists. Eva Zamudio also scored. 

The Suns scored four goals in the first half, and tacked on five more in the second, while keeping the Lions off the board. McConnell made two saves to record her first shutout. Cedar Valley (2-3) peppered SWAU with 32 shots, including 15 on goal.

Cedar Valley (2-3) will host Dallas College Mountain View (0-2) at 4 p.m. Friday in the Dallas Athletic Conference opener.
