Coming off of two straight wins where they didn’t allow a single goal, Santa Monica College’s (SMC) women’s soccer team entered the game with confidence in their offensive and defensive skills. This confidence was undoubtedly tested by the LA Pierce Brahma Bulls, who came into the game with a 2-1-1 record having also won their last 2 games. The Corsairs ultimately had the upper hand with fantastic defensive pressure and a lively home crowd to back the intensity.

SPORTS

On Tuesday, Sept. 9, the Corsairs took on the Fullerton Hornets in an afternoon home opener. They were looking for their first win since starting 2-0 on Aug. 22, suffering three straight ties to leave them at 2-0-3 heading into the game. Against a Fullerton team that entered the game 1-2-1, it was as good a chance as any for the Corsairs to return to the win column.
