Right now we sit near the end of the table in our league. We lost another game which was a 1-0 loss to the 5th ranked team in the country. Then we tied another power 1-1. Everything is going nice and smooth right now our team realizes that in order to make it into playoffs we need to preform these next few games.
I am now starting so I am really excited. To be in the starting 11 while being a freshman goalkeeper is something that I have had to work for. Nothing comes easy I have had been able to put sweat out on the field just knowing that maybe when the time comes the coaches will notice.
We come and play in San Diego on November the first at San Diego Christian College at noon. So if your free you will be able to enjoy watching 3 former Vaquero players in action.

Our team is very young and at times we can lose our discipline. In the last three games we have given up 8 goals which is not something to be happy about. Once we get scored on we drop our heads and we can never pick up our game. Soccer is not going to well, but that's okay. I can not let the game get in my head. Soccer sometimes has its frustrating moments, but you have to learn to get over it and just play the game.
Anyways other than soccer everything is going good we have midterms right now which means a lot of test and essays. Looking at it I don't mind to much because after this week we are free until finals in December.

Since we are in league now our opponents will only get harder from here on out. We suffered our first loss of league and our second loss overall to Vanguard. The score was 1-0, but the scoreline does not represent how the play really was. Both us and Vanguard did not play to particularly well. Their goal in the 20th minute was enough to win the game. Much of this game was played in the midfield so there were low amounts of shots and goal scoring opportunities.
We then played Point Loma Nazarene at home on Saturday. We won the game 3-2 with two pk goals. This game i have to say might have been one of the most productive offensive games we have had thus far. There were a lot of break-aways and goal scoring opportunities. This was one heck of a game one that I was kinda disappointed in some aspects but happy in other aspects. I was disappointed that all I could do was observe the game from the bench. But at the same time being a fan of soccer I am able to say this was a game I was happy to watch any time based off the quality that was preformed on the field.
Now in this up coming week we will be playing 2 nationally ranked teams. The first being Fresno Pacific in Fresno. They are currently ranked the #2 team in NAIA. Then on Saturday we play Concordia of Irvine at home. They are Currently ranked #8 in NAIA. So this week fir me will be full of excitment preparing for a long trip and also getting ready for exams and the many essays that are due. College is yet a handful to me but also a chance to find something new about yourself. For those young players out there soccer should not be the priority at the moment. Focus on your school work so your able to have a great time in collge weather your an athlete or not. Well wish us luck, and hopefully we will be able to see you guys around the pitch sometime soon. Go Vaqueros!!!!
