Coaches' Notes

"Our Standout players were our back 3 (Jazlyn Arevalo, Jordyn Gather, Jaida Wilson) and goalkeeper (Kayli Cokley) again were excellent. Another clean sheet. We are a very difficult team to score against and their individual capabilities stand out, but it's partnered with the collective team keeping the ball so well.
 
Jysabella smashed a free kick into the top corner which was a huge stand out moment. An incredible effort that really gets people off their seat.
 
We were so dominant on the ball and in control again. Really comfortable. La Sierra dropped a little deeper and really did a good job and restricting entry into the area which was frustrating in the first half.
 
In the second half they started to press us a little higher and some spaces started to open up. It caught us a little off guard to begin the half to face a higher press but we started to bypass it a little better as it went on and I think we are disappointed we didn't put 2-3 more chances away in the last 15. A couple cleared off the line and a couple we have put over the bar from places we can finish.
 
We are pleased with another win and another clean sheet, but we know there's more in the tank there and we weren't completely at our best.
 
We will recuperate now and regroup for 2 games in 3 days this weekend." - Coach Gidney
 
"We had good shape and organization, we dominated the play and the energy from the team On and off the field was awesome. Jays goal was amazing but we know we can score more goals if we are calmer around the goal." - Captain Isabella Saavedra
 
Westcliff will be home on saturday Sept 21st at 6:30pm against Justice College at Orange Coast College.
