Yuba women’s soccer defeats Mendocino, 6-0
Colusa sweeps Pierce in straight sets
The Yuba College soccer team’s offense erupted on Tuesday night as it reeled off six goals against Mendocino in a shutout victory.
“It was really fun to watch this team today, they were clicking on all cylinders,” head coach Cristina Baggio said. “It’s a great day to be a forty-niner,” she added.
Yuba’s Vanessa Garcia and Kassidy Hembree each tallied a goal apiece. Meanwhile, Estrella Silva and Cindy Hernandez each scored two goals.
“I have to give Cindy (Hernandez) a shout out. She moved up from outside back where she usually plays, but you would have never noticed, she played phenomenally,” Baggio said.
The 49ers were joined by some young stars during Tuesday’s match as the Yuba Sutter Azzuri FC Elite helped out as ball girls.
Yuba (3-1-2) will play at Contra Costa on Friday. HIGH SCHOOL
Volleyball Colusa 3, Pierce 0 Three weeks ago the Pierce Bears marched into Colusa’s Don Bransford Gymnasium and swept the Redhawks in straight sets, but last night in Arbuckle the tables were turned as the Redhawks won in dramatic fashion over the hometown Bears by scores of 25-20, 27-25, 27-25.
While the Redhawks outplayed the Bears in most facets of the game, they dominated the net led by middle hitters Hannah Taylor and Carly Lay who finished the match with 14 and 11 kills respectively.
Orchestrating the attack was setter Annie Lay who handed out 32 assists often making spectacular saves to keep the ball alive and create those opportunities.
Colusa also got a noteworthy performance from its back row, which included Amber Morales making 20 digs, along with Cynthia Velazquez and Abby Myers who contributed 12 apiece.
With the win, the Redhawks (24-14) now find themselves tied with Pierce for second place in the Sacramento Valley League and have a big match with Willows looming on the horizon next Tuesday.
