Bakersfield, CA – Bakersfield College women's soccer was energized to play at home again, but a ten-minute stretch in the first half would decide the outcome of the game on Tuesday evening as the Renegades suffered a 2-1 decision against LA Valley.
For 20 minutes BC kept the Monarchs from getting through defense and scoring. It was in the 21st minute that LAV netted a volley above goalkeeper Katelyn Gonzalez's head. In the 28th minute, the Gades experienced a déjà vu moment and would be down two goals going into the half.
The Renegades were able to get a point on the board at the 63rd minute from midfielder Alexa Shearer by kicking it to the center right pass LA Valley's goalkeeper. BC kept their defense strong from allowing the Monarchs to score another point. Goalkeeper Sierrah Smith tallied a big save for the Gades in the final minutes of play.
