It was a busy week for the Rio Hondo College women's soccer team. The Roadrunners, having won 6 of their last 7 games, picked up a pair of big SCC interdivision victories as they shutout both El Camino College (4-0) and Long Beach City College (3-0).
Before Friday's contest, the women's soccer team made a special trip to visit with kids at the Rio Hondo College Child Development Center and donate pumpkins for the center's upcoming fall festival.
Following the visit, the Roadrunners returned to their home field to host LBCC. Friday's contest also served as Rio Hondo's Cancer Awareness game. The Roadrunners wore pink uniforms in honor of the fight against cancer.
Nicole Chavez, Zharria Ramirez, and Lismed Salcido all scored goals while Izella Delgadillo made 5 saves in goal to help the Roadrunners post their 10th shutout of the season.
Rio Hondo improved its record to 9-1-3 overall following the win. The Roadrunners currently sit in second place at 3-1, just one game behind Chaffey College (4-0), in the SCC North Division standings. Rio Hondo is currently ranked No. 13 in the most recent (Oct. 16) United Soccer Coaches Junior College Division III (non-scholarship) National Poll.
