SANTA CLARITA — SBCC tallied four goals in a 21-minute span Tuesday night en route to their second straight women’s soccer shutout — a 4-0 victory over Canyons.
Shannon Lynott, a freshman from Clovis, scored in the 29th and 50th minutes with Courtney Belsheim assisting on the final score. Maria Johansen made it 2-0 in the 36th minute on an assist from Lynott and Summer Deaton stretched it to 3-0 at halftime after taking a corner kick from Brieanna Wright in the 44th minute.
SBCC (5-0-3) is ranked No. 3 in California and No. 6 in the nation.
“We played very well in the first half and we would have had a lot more goals had we been more clinical around the net,” said Vaquero coach John Sisterson. “They didn’t get a shot the whole game.”
Sisterson praised the play of defender Chelsea Nielsen and ex-SBHS star Ricky Fien. Jamie Kucharski filled in for Caitlin Linus at left back and played well, according to Sisterson.
SBCC will play a doubleheader with the men’s team on Friday at Taft, starting at 1 p.m.
