Cats shut down Dons

The Saddleback women's soccer team remains on top of the Orange Empire Conference standings after a 2-0 win against Santa Ana College on Friday in Santa Ana.  The Bobcats host a big showdown with Santiago Canyon College on Tuesday.

Saddleback was in complete control from the outset but had a tough time getting one past the Santa Ana goalkeeper, who kept the Dons in the game on the score board until the end.  The Bobcats peppered the keeper with 24 total shots and 17 shots on goal, playing the majority of the game in the offensive zone.

Saddleback broke the stalemate in the 34^th minute off a corner kick when Kaiya Biller headed one past the keeper for what would eventually be the winning goal.  It was Biller's third goal of the season off of a solid corner kick from Araylia Holiday.

Saddleback took total control in the second half in the 78^th minute when Morgen Pulham (pictured) lofted a ball over the keepers head off a pass from Milana McClain for her first goal of the season. 

Saddleback finished with a 24-3 advantage in total shots with a 17-1 advantage in shots-on-goal.  Maycie Pugh played the entire game in goal as the Bobcats recorded their fourth shutout of the season.

Saddleback will host Santiago Canyon College on Tuesday in a showdown of two of the top teams in the Orange Empire Conference.  The Bobcats and Hawks are scheduled to start at 3:00 PM inside the stadium.
