Flurry of early goals lifts Lady Jags to win over first place Canyon Crest


Valley Center’s varsity girls soccer team picked up another crucial Valley League win this week, as the Lady Jaguars defeated first-place Canyon Crest on Thursday for their third win in a row.
The Lady Jags took care of the scoring early and held on with outstanding defense down the stretch to take a 3–1 win.
Julia Stone got the scoring started with an unassisted goal, then Melina Heredia scored on an assist from Michelle Nido before Hannah Sanders finished off the offensive barrage with a goal on an assist from Vanessa Heredia. Canyon Crest also scored in the first half, but the Lady Jaguars didn’t allow the Lady Ravens any space in the second half, as neither team scored after halftime and Valley Center held on for the win.
In goal, Kaley Prudham made five saves to earn the victory.
“This was a huge win for us,” said head coach Eric Osterberg. “Now, we just have to prepare to finish our league season and get ready for the division four playoffs.”
The Lady Jaguars are now 9–5–1 overall and 3–2 in league with only two games left on the schedule. Next up is a home game against San Dieguito on Thursday at 5 p.m.
