CLAREMONT, CA — Amaris Sherlock put away the only goal of the game and the University of La Verne women's soccer team scored an impressive win Saturday afternoon on the road against the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Athenas.
From the Coach
"It was a complete team effort today. Everyone on the field played together and the interaction from our bench kept us going," said Head Coach Lauryn Pehanich. "We didn't change much of our game plan, we just put it together today as a group and everyone did their part."
Play of the Game
The play of the game was the biggest play of the game. Ari Dowell gathered the ball just past midfield and passed it towards the right of the field to Cambria Smith.
Smith sent a cross to the middle of the box to Andrea Story who fended off a defender to get a foot on the ball. Amaris Sherlock was ready, sending a dart past the diving Athenas' keeper for the difference maker.
Jasmine Valadez was solid in front of the net, grabbing four saves in the win. She was aided by solid backline play from the Leopards who prevented counter attacks from the Athenas in the first half, and fended off a desperate Claremont-Mudd-Scripps attack in the second half.
