Knights Get 5th
Sweep of Season With 3-0 Win Over Cuyamaca |
|
SDCC's women's volleyball team came
into Friday night's match ready to play as they took care of
business with a quick 3-0 (25-8, 25-16, 25-14) sweep of Cuyamaca.

early with a first game victory of 25-8. The second game was a
struggle as the Knights fell behind 12-7, but they responded
with an 18-4 run to win 25-16.

any point in the third game. The Knights jumped ahead with a
15-6 lead and did not look back as they eventually won 25-14.

Early Goals Are
Difference In Knights' 2-1 Loss |
|
The women's soccer team gave up two
goals in the first 24 minutes as they struggled to contain
Miramar's offense and eventually lost, 2-1.
Miramar was on the attack early and
often as they forced the Knights to bunker in on defense for
most of the game. In the 11th minute, Miramar's Bree Duckworth
scored off a rebound to give the Jets the early 1-0 lead.
Thirteen minutes later, Miramar's
Danica Caudillo found Ashley Moore inside the penalty area for
the easy goal and the 2-0 advantage.
Although the Knights were on
their heels the rest of the half, their defense stabilized and
kept Miramar out of the net.
In the 57th minute, the Knights
got back into to it with a goal by Vynessa Diblasio. The
Knights' Andrea Marin took the ball after Miramar's defense
could not clear it and found Diblasio who beat the Jets'
goalkeeper with a grounder on the left side.
Diblasio and Marin, both at the
forward positions, took pressure of the Knights' defense as they
became aggressive throughout the second half and desperately
tried for the equalizer, but couldn't get it.
Miramar had their own chances to
get separation from the Knights, but goalkeeper Rebekah Hash was
terrific in goal as she recorded 11 saves. Her athletic ability
was on display as she dove and jumped with her outstretched
hands to make fantastic stops.
The Knights record now moves to 4-8-3 overall and 2-6-2 in the
PCAC.

Knights Stay
Undefeated in PCAC With 3-1 Victory |
|
The men's soccer team defeated PCAC-rival
San Diego Mesa, 3-1, on Friday and improved to 7-3-4 overall and
3-0-2 in the PCAC. The
Knights came out aggressive on offense as they looked to get an
early lead and it paid off in the 25th minute. Knights'
sophomore forward Justin Picou drew a foul in the penalty area
after a quality give-and-go between he and sophomore Oliver
Magdaleno. Freshman captain Devin Garcia beat Mesa's goalkeeper
on the penalty kick for the 1-0 lead.
City went ahead 2-0 in the 35th
minute on an impressive header by freshman midfielder Grant Da
Silva. Leonardo Perez took a free kick from the right side after
a foul and sent in a perfect ball to Da Silva who then headed it
in on the left side.
Mesa cut the lead in half after a
48th minute goal from Thiago Batista. He took a free kick from
30 yards out that hit the bottom left corner of the net.
The Knights, however, would get
an insurance goal in the 60th minute as Perez, who had a strong
performance throughout, once again set up a teammate for a
header off a free kick. This time it was Picou who was the
recipient of Perez' accurate pass.
The Knights held off the
Olympians the rest of the way and got the important victory they
needed as they stayed in second place in conference, two points
behind Palomar.
