SBCC scored two goals in the last five minutes of the first half on Tuesday night and went on to blank Oxnard 4-0 in a WSC North women's soccer match at La Playa Stadium.
The Vaqueros are No. 1 in the state and No. 3 in the nation. They posted their 11th straight win, improving to 11-0-1 overall and 2-0 in conference. They've shut out their last four opponents and eight of their last nine with a goal differential of 20-1 in the last nine games.
SBCC outshot the Condors (4-8-2, 0-3) 10-1 in the first 40 minutes but couldn't find the net.
Oxnard was called for a hand ball in the box and Chloe Montano drove the penalty kick into the left side at 40:18. She's 5-5 on PKs this year and it was her fourth game-winning goal. In the 45th minute, Amber Mulligan delivered a sharp through ball and Isabella Viana scored from the left side for a 2-0 halftime lead.
Viana leads the Vaqueros with eight goals and 17 points.
The Vaqueros outshot the visitors 14-1 in the opening half and 33-2 for the game.
"We started off slowly, we couldn't seem to get in a rhythm," said coach John Sisterson. "It got a little frustrating but then we got a couple of goals up at the half. We changed the lineup at halftime and our subs did very well.
"It's always a positive when you win with a clean sheet. We're looking forward to a good game vs. Ventura on Friday."
Sisterson substituted liberally in the second half. He put Valentine Rahm, Samantha Rhoads and Matilda Cassel Ledin in to start the second half and all three played well.
Cassel Ledin, a freshman midfielder from Sweden, got her first college goal in the 64th minute, taking a pass from Rahm and blasting in a shot from the top of the box.
Danielle Mannerberg, who entered the game at the 78:10 mark, was knocked down in the box five minutes later. She scored her first college goal on a PK at 83:53.
The Vaqueros will host Ventura (7-7-2, 2-0) in a key WSC contest on Friday at 7 p.m.
