Women’s Soccer:

The banged up Lady Dolphin Soccer Team hopes to rebound from their 6-0 loss to Walla Walla Community College on Monday. WWCC is the #1 ranked team in the NWAACC with a 3-0-1 record. SCC did receive 1 point in the first the NWAACC Women’s Soccer Poll and has a tie with #6 ranked Clackamas CC. SCC is 0-1-2 and played to two ties at the NWAACC “Friendlies” Tournament last week at the Starfire Complex in Tukwila, WA. SCC played WWCC closely last Monday, only being down 2-0 midway through the second half of the match, until several injuries slowed the team down and Walla Walla scored 3 goals in 13 minutes to rout SCC in the end.

Two Northern Region rivals are ranked in the NWAACC Women’s Soccer Poll, with Everett CC being ranked 3rd and Edmonds CC being ranked 5th. Everett tied Walla Walla last week and Edmonds is out to a 4-2 start to their season.

SCC faces Olympic College on Wednesday at Dolphin Field on the SCC campus at 2:00 PM. This is a mandatory NWAACC crossover game between the Northern and Western Regions, which count in the region standings for each.

SCC does have good news, as the team picked up four more players during the week and all of the injured players will return to action this week as well.
