FINAL STATS


TAFT, CA – In the realm of sports, victories are celebrated, but true champions recognize the value of growth, even in the face of setbacks. The Lady Cougars of Taft College Soccer, though winless in their last three encounters, exhibit this champion mindset. Their consistent progression is evident, as each match has seen a reduction in goals conceded and an increase in minutes, they keep the opposition at bay.

But it's not just about statistics. The tenacity with which the Lady Cougars defend their goalpost, the unwavering commitment from kickoff to the final whistle, speaks volumes about their character. It's a heartening display of unity, where every player battles not just for herself, but for every teammate wearing the same jersey.

Women's Soccer Head Coach Lyle Martin, Jr., expressed his confidence, "Our current aim is singular: daily improvement. The focus isn't on immediate wins but on evolving, game by game. With this trajectory, we're confident the Lady Cougars will metamorphose into a formidable side by season's end. This journey, marked by both challenges and growth, promises a thrilling story worth watching."

Losing their last match at home 3-0 against West Hill Lemoore, Taft will look to bounce back on Tuesday, September 19 against Porterville College on the road. Kick off is set for 3:00 pm.
