Mohave College women’s soccer splits results in two matches

The Mohave College women’s soccer team turned in a determined week of play, staying competitive and creating scoring chances while showing strong effort across the field.

After a hard-fought, 2-0 loss to Eastern Arizona College Saturday, Sept. 20, in which the Bighorns recorded 15 shots, nine of them on goal, goalkeeper Evelyn Montiel-Silva kept the team within reach with 10 saves.

Mohave bounced back during the Tuesday, Sept. 23 game with an 8-1 victory over Nelson University.

“This past week we started to work on the new formation, playing a bit differently,” said Head Women’s Coach Robert Podeyn. “Tuesday was a game the ladies needed.”

Magaly Guzman-Lopez led the charge with two goals and an assist, while Anela Hoohuli contributed a goal and three assists. Jaquelin Godoy, Alayna Littlewood, Maya Tamara Davis, Estephanie Montiel-Silva, and Alyssa Martin Del Campo each added goals, with key assists from Brianne Kumashiro and Yariana Valle.

The Bighorns now set their sights on a challenging road match at Arizona Western College Saturday, Sept. 27 at 4:30 p.m., before returning home to host the College of Southern Nevada Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 4:30 p.m. Fans are encouraged to come out and support the team as they look to extend their win streak at Firebird Field.
