Over the span of four matches, the Bakersfield College women’s soccer team has won two matches, tied and lost one.

The team’s record is 5-5-2 overall and 3-2-1 in the Western State Conference South division.

On Oct. 16, BC lost 2-0 at L.A. Pierce (12-0-1, 6-0 in WSC South). Pierce scored its two goals in the first half. Pierce is ranked No. 1 in SoCal rankings and first in conference.

BC coach Scott Dameron said about the conference loss, “We did well in the second half, but we didn’t finish our chances.”

He added, “Their goalkeeper was very good. She made a couple of really good saves when it was 1-0. She made a save that nobody could figure out how she got. That did a lot to change the game because we would have tied the game up shortly after they went up 1-0.”

Dameron talked about the officiating in the game, “We had a goal called back. It was a ball that got knocked down – the goalkeeper ended up falling down, and it seemed pretty harmless but the referees called a foul. It was unfortunate because that would’ve tied it up as well.”

He added, “We’ll be able to figure out the errors. The things we try to do in that game we did well. We got in the box and thought we won a couple of penalties, but there were things that were let go because it was a physical game.

“I’m not dissatisfied with how we played, we just have to finish our chances better.”

BC tied 1-1 with Citrus on Oct. 12 in a WSC South match. BC’s Amber Beckham scored with an assist by Terryn Soelberg. BC led at halftime, but a second half goal by Citrus tied the game.

“We were inconsistent in that game. We weren’t able to control the game in the second half,” said Dameron.

He added, “Neither team could get the strikes and we had to settle for a tie. The score was pretty accurate of how it went. One half we were in control and they were in the other.”

BC defeated L.A. Valley 5-0 on Oct. 8 at home.

“Scoring five goals is good – hopefully we can score more from the run of play,” Dameron said of the first three goals that came off of corner kicks.

BC overpowered L.A. Mission with a 9-0 win at home on Oct. 5.

“In games like that, we’re trying to compete against what we’re capable of so we got early goals and relaxed a bit,” said Dameron.

“I was glad to see that we were able to keep the energy level up, because it wasn’t close, in terms of being physical.”

Amber Beckham and Brittany Hunt each had a brace and an assist.

Dameron talked about the coming matches in the second round of conference play.

“After playing Canyons, we will have seen everybody in our conference. In the second round, the key is who adjusts better.”

Dameron added about the team’s progression in the season, “We’ve definitely gotten better but we have to be more consistent.”

BC is currently in fourth place in the WSC South.
