Cypress, Calif. – Cypress and Santiago Canyon faced off for the second time this season in a highly anticipated rivalry match. After a 3-2 loss to the Hawks earlier this season, Cypress was looking for revenge but came up just short 2-1. Freshman forward Vanesa Corona scored Cypress’s only goal.
The Hawks struck first with a goal ten minutes in. From there, Cypress controlled the ball keeping the action on the Santiago half of the field. At the 35 minute mark, sophomore forward Casey Kiehl sent a pass up field to sophomore midfielder Ariana Olague. Olague drew a foul in the box setting up Corona for the penalty which she converted sending the teams into a tied 1-1 half.
The teams went back and forth to start the second half. Cypress took control as time went on with several near misses. Santiago Canyon found a chance and broke away and drew a controversial foul in the penalty box. The Hawks converted the penalty kick in the 80th minute to take the lead. Cypress fought back but was unable to put one in as time ran out. Freshman keeper Chelsea Broghamer made three saves on the day.
Cypress (15-3-2, 10-3-2) heads into their final regular season game Friday heading to Fullerton. Cypress defeated the Hornets 2-1 earlier this season. The two face off again Friday at 3:00 pm at Fullerton.
