Athletic Department Recent NewsWomen’s Soccer PV Women Capture Opener The 2010 PVCC Women’s Soccer team blanked ACCAC foe Cochise 4-0 in Douglas yesterday in the season opener for both teams. The Pumas (1-0), ranked #3 in the NJCAA pre-season national poll, led by a 1-0 score at intermission after possessing the ball for much of the first half. “We struggled to connect in the final third in the first 30 minutes,” said head coach Kacey Bingham, “but after some halftime adjustments we figured it out and were much more dangerous in the second half.” PV’s women tallied 3 second half goals and were led by a pair of returning All-Americans. Sophomores Alyssa Flores (G, 2A) and Ally Oelschlager (2G) each appeared on the score sheet multiple times as did freshman Jordan Davidson (G, A). Sophomore Amy Eyden notched an assist. Bingham added that, “it was nice to have all of our forwards contribute and to have our returning All-Americans start the season in a good way.” Time in the PV goal was split by freshman Natalie Kintz (1st half) and sophomore Reilee Reed (2nd half). In posting the shutout, each keeper faced only 1 shot on goal in her respective half of work. The Pumas return to action this weekend on Shoenhair field with a pair of home ACCAC contests. PV hosts Pima on Saturday afternoon at 2:30. The Pumas then face Chandler/Gilbert’s Coyotes on Monday at 3:30pm. | ||
| Men’s Soccer Pumas Fall in Opener The 2010 men’s soccer squad opened their 2010 campaign in Prescott Valley on Saturday night. Though the Pumas fell 3-1 to perennial powerhouse Yavapai, there were many positive signs from the program that struggled mightily in 2009. After some early nerves and a couple mistakes, the Pumas showed character in scoring a first half goal, cutting a 2-0 deficit in half. Carlos Mendoza found the back of the net in the 27th minute. PV pressed the attack with solid ball control for the remainder of the first half but could not find the equalizer. “We gave up 2 goals early due to some nerves and a couple defensive errors but I thought we responded well and created some quality chances as the half wore on,” said new head coach Boris Teoharevic. As the match continued, the Pumas showed increasing poise with the ball and found avenues to attack the Yavapai defense. After intermission, Yavapai gained a greater measure of ball control and a goal in the 63rd minute dampened the Pumas’ chances for the victory. “Our guys played hard, played well and showed their potential,” Teoharevic added. There were no cards issued in the game which was played at a relatively fast pace. After a trip to Arizona Western on Wednesday (9/1) for a 6pm game, the Pumas host Pima CC this Saturday at noon. Saturday’s game is the home opener for PV’s men. | ||
