Freshman forward Daisy Gonzales splits two defenders to get to the goal.
Propelled by an elite attack, Southwestern College women’s soccer is undefeated in Pacific Coast Athletic Conference play.
Sitting at 10-5-2, (4-0 PCAC), the Jaguars are tied for 12th in the state with 53 goals.Led by freshman Kimberly Mederos and sophomores Damaris Aguila and Daisy Gonzalez, SWC has won handily in their conference games, outscoring opponents 17-3.
Aguila, a midfielder, is a key returner from last year’s 17-1-5 (7-1-2 PCAC) team. She had 22 goals last year, which tied for the team lead. This season, Aguila is second on the team with 10 goals behind Mederos’s 14.
Head coach Carolina Soto said Aguila has been and will continue to be a big part of the team’s production.
“She has the ability to create plays and score from things that are magical,” Soto said. “She has these spurts where she can change her pace and shoot from anywhere on the field. With the season just starting, she has not found her rhythm quite yet. But she is working on that and we are getting that from her little by little.”
Soto also said the sophomores led the team through the offseason.
“The offseason was really strong and the work ethic is really high,” she said. “We have really had a lot of our sophomores who set the tone from the beginning.”
