Unbeaten streak continues for Bobcats

The Saddleback women's soccer team ran its unbeaten streak to 13 games on Tuesday with a 4-1 win at Fullerton College.  The Bobcats saw their shutout streak end, however, when Fullerton scored in the 70^th minute.  

Saddleback is on a collision course with Santiago Canyon College, who they play on Friday for control of the Orange Empire Conference.  First up was a little housecleaning against Fullerton College on Tuesday in Fullerton.

Saddleback scored early when Lizbeth De Loera found the net in the second minute off a pass from Kylie Beu for a 1-0 lead.  Eleven minutes later it was 2-0 when Beau scored off a pass from Averee Campos.   Alexa Livingstone then put the game on ice in the 16^th minute with an unassisted goal, thus exterminating the Hornets' chances of getting back into the game. 

De Loera (pictured) added her team-leading 14^th goal of the season in the 49^th minute as the Bobcats extended the lead to 4-0 shortly after the intermission.   

Saddleback recorded 31 shots on the day and controlled play from beginning to end.   However, Fullerton snapped the Bobcat shutout streak in the 70^th minute when Auburn Burnett found the net.  Saddleback had gone 547 minutes without giving up a goal.

Saddleback (14-1-3, 9-0-2) will be back in action on Friday when they host Santiago Canyon College (15-1-1, 10-0-1) with first place on the line.  The Bobcats and Hawks tied 2-2 at Santiago Canyon on October 11 in the opening round of conference play.  The teams are scheduled to start at 3:00 PM inside the stadium.
