highlights,” Burton said.

Young said he was happy for his teammates.

“I feel like we have grown a lot as a team because we have a lot of diversity. We came together and proved what we could do as a team,” Young said.

Young said he is more of a player to stay in the pocket, but will get out of the comfort zone when he needs to.

Soccer loses narrow game Pierce falls to Hancock College in close match

PETER VILLAFANE Reporter @pcavillafane

Following a two-game winning streak, the soccer team lost 1-0 to the Allan Hancock College Bulldogs at Shepard Stadium Friday.

It was the first time in 19 years that the Brahmas lost to the Bulldogs, according to head coach Adolfo Perez.

“We’re used to winning here,”

Perez said. “I’ve never had a team in my life where we play great on the road and not very good at home.”

The game started 11 minutes after the scheduled kickoff time because officials were late to arrive on the field.

Brahmas started on the attack in the first minute when Amelia Weckhurst’s shot went wide. They would have multiple opportunities to take the lead, but failed to capitalize. The game was scoreless at the half.

Defender Jessica Palmer had a shot on goal that missed during the first half.

“I should have controlled the ball better and had a better first touch,” Palmer said. “I should have improved almost everything.”

Diana Millan won a free kick for the Brahmas in the second half, which ended up being another missed opportunity to score a goal. Millan said she and her teammates didn't perform well.

“We didn’t do our job,” Milan said.

Elizabeth Aldana scored the winning goal for the Bulldogs 36 minutes into the second half. She beat Joanna Cerda and put in the rebound after the ball hit the post.

Palmer said the goal being late into the second half affected the team’s attitude during the rest of the game.

“After they scored, everybody seemed discouraged,” Palmer said.
