The Mustangs took their sixth win in a row against Cabrillo College 3-0 on Sept. 26 with exciting last minute shots and intense defense.
The first half of the game had many goal attempts from the Mustangs and lots of defense but to both teams dismay no points were scored. By the second half, Delta came out of the locker room with a new fire and scored their first point.
“We worked hard the whole game and to get that goal, Cabrillo (sic) didn’t give up but they lost their fire a little bit and it just felt good to know we’re the better team and we can show for it,” said Mustangs sophomore midfielder Natalie O’Sullivan scoring that goal relieved the team.
With 11 minutes still remaining on the clock, it gave plenty of time for Cabrillo to make a comeback, however freshman midfielder Angela Cardozo solidified the Mustangs’ second goal.
“It felt very inspiring to me, I was very happy literally just coming in and going for the shot. I felt like it brought the team a little more motivation (sic) to attack more,” said Cardozo.
As the game moved closer to the end the Mustangs made their last goal of the night to give Cabrillo something to remember on their bus ride home.
“It was a good sting. I’m glad we got a good team win,” said sophomore defender Evelyn Gomez. “We are not complacent with where we are right now, we obviously want to keep elevating more and more, and be able to start the first halves with better energy and higher intensity. And just crush those teams’ dreams in the first half.”
Additionally the Mustangs will continue to work on gaining that energy for more games and improve working as a team.
“We want to keep playing as a team and keep working that ball and we’ll find that goal,” said head coach Adrienne Sorenson.
The Mustangs will try to continue their incredible winning streak throughout the season and onto the championships.
