Sandy Grimaldo had a goal and assist in her first collegiate game on Tuesday, guiding SBCC to a 2-0 women’s soccer shutout at L.A. Harbor in Wilmington. It was the sixth straight season-opening win for the Vaqueros.
Grimaldo, a freshman from Mammoth High, was the MVP of the Desert Mountain League last year. She scored in the 18th minute by chipping the ball over the keeper after taking a pass from Sarah Atmajoana.
Brandie Harris, a freshman from Dos Pueblos High, made it 2-0 two minutes into the second half on a 20-yard shot from the right side. Grimaldo picked up the assist.
Goalie Brianna Robinson and the defense posted the shutout.
“We controlled the game and could have had more goals if their goalie hadn’t made a couple of nice saves,” said coach John Sisterson. “We created opportunities throughout the game.”
SBCC will play Rio Hondo on Thursday at 3 p.m. in the Ventura College Tournament.
