Moving swiftly from one position to the next, while guarding the goal from all those that oppose seems easier said than done. Brianna Jacobo dreams of her name being on the tips of everyone’s tongue.

Jacobo’s role model is her older sister, who played at Cal. State Northridge for four years. Her sister was successful as a soccer player and is currently an assistant coach for the Matadors’ soccer team.

“I look up to my sister because she played at CSUN and she was almost going to go pro,” Jacobo said. “So just watching her play and how everybody loves her, I want that, I want people to know me as a great keeper.”

She knows that education is also important, leading her to pursue a degree in nursing while also searching for a university that has a Division I women’s soccer team.

football gods have shined their lights on us by having that young fella here, because he has helped us a tremendous amount, even though our record doesn’t reflect so, but he’s contributed a great deal,” Defensive Coordinator Torry Hughes said.

Although the team has been struggling this season, Robledo is undeterred. He says that although the team isn’t where it could be, they have what it takes to win.

“I’m glad I chose Pierce, because the season is going great and it’s only week five. It’s different. We’re pretty small right now, we don’t have too many numbers, but we’re a team and we want to win,” Robledo said. “We try our best even though we haven’t too many players. We try our best.” bcaldera.roundupnews@gmail.com

Ultimately, Robledo’s goal is to play in the NFL, but he is majoring in economics to have a solid plan if things don’t pan out. For the moment, Robledo is focused on his performance, getting a scholarship and transferring to a university team.

“Wherever I get the full scholarship offer is were I’m going to kick. It can be anywhere, honestly, whoever needs a kicker. Everyday I do my best and every game I perform my best. I just keep making my kicks and the rest will take care of itself. If I just focus on each kick single-handedly, then at the end of the day, at the end of the season it will add up, in a good way,” Robledo said.
