Women’s Soccer tied 1-1 against Ventura College on Oct. 6.

Ventura is ranked in the top 10 of the state, but the Brahmas were able to keep it competitive.

Sophomore Heidi Ricketts made the first goal in only 3 minutes of the game, making it her ninth goal of the season.

“It’s something you gotta get used to, if you have much passion for the game you have to find a way to
make it work,” Ricketts said.

Two yellow cards were thrown in the 2nd quarter of the game along with Ventura college committing
12 fouls, 2 fouls in the first quarter, and 10 fouls in the second quarter.

Pierce’s goalkeeper Deborah Curiel had 5 saved goals. 3 in the first quarter, and 2 in the second quarter.

Curiel said it can be stressful being the goalkeeper.

“I enjoy the pressure because it makes me stronger and confident in and out the game to play at a better level,” Curiel said.

Head Coach Adolfo Perez said that he is impressed with how the players commit to this team.

“They’re unbelievable,” Perez said.”We are always gonna show up and compete. That is the mentality we have.”
