A week after shutting out last
year’s state champs San Bernardino Valley 4-0, the Marauders returned home to
take on the Mt. San Jacinto Eagles
in another highly anticipated match. “I wanted to make sure we were fully
prepared and focused for this one since we lost for only the second time Friday
at Rio Hondo,” Head Coach Jerry Stupar said.
The Marauders seemed extremely
focused after moving the ball around and jumping out to a 1-0 lead on what
would be the first of many goals for Stacy Guijarro. Mt. San Jacinto did
respond with a goal of their own that was quickly overshadowed by another AVC
goal, leaving the score 2-1 at the half.

Starting the second half, talented
sophomore Guijarro took matters into her own hands, or in this case, feet, and scored
three more goals, totaling the most scored by a Marauder in a game since 2003.
“Stacy has great stamina which allows me to keep her in the game for about
85-90 minutes per game,” said Stupar.

Freshman Taylor Williams gave a great boost to the squad with
her constant ball pressure and quick attacks. Fellow freshman Alexandria Fulladosa
also contributed with great defense and timely setups. The AVC Marauders are
currently ranked fifth in the state and look to continue their streak against
COD next Tuesday at 3 p.m.
