The undefeated Cerritos College women’s soccer team, with a 6-0-0 record, will take on South Coast Conference opponent Pasadena City College on Sept. 30.

Sophomore midfielder Monica Ramirez, anticipates the best to happen in this game by keeping a positive and concentrated attitude in what she’s there to do.

“I’m excited. I’m not really nervous I’m confident; we feel ready, we expect to win,” she said.

This would be the first time Ramirez plays against Pasadena, but she has all the confidence in doing so.

Before every game, the team takes a moment before going onto the field to reflect on previous games as a way to perfect themselves.

“You reflect on your past games, things you want to do better and that’s how you become better,” Ramirez said.

Sophomore goalie Laura Ropp explains that she is very focused and determined to win.

Ropp has already played against Pasadena and was injured, forcing her to take an entire season off to get better.

In previous games, she explains how the team has always won against Pasadena.

“When we play them at Pasadena City College its kind of like a 2-0 for us, but when we play them here it’s like 5-0,” she said.

Much like others, Ropp directs herself to focus on what is expected of her in the field, and in moments from the game she relaxes by listening to mellow music.

Head Coach Ruben Gonzalez helps keep the team up in high spirits, providing them with confidence in winning.

“It doesn’t matter if its 1-0 or 2-1 or 3-2, whatever it is you just want to win,” Gonzalez said.

He believes that the team has been winning throughout the entire season due to the confidence and talent of the team.

“We had a couple minor injuries, nothing to keep our players out,” Gonzalez said.

He added that the the same lineup from the game against Taft might be considered for the upcoming game against Pasadena.
