A big congratulations to Natalia Medina on her first collegiate game as a freshman against Cabrillo College.
With a roster of 25 players, Natalia worked hard all pre-season to earn a starting spot in the game, making her debut and starting the game as a #10 (center attacking mid).Natalia went on to secure the win by scoring a goal in 90th min of the game, with Evergreen College the eventual winners, 3-1. Cabrillo College hadn’t allowed a goal in conference last season.
Natalia scoring a goal in her first game as a college athlete is a big accomplishment. Natalia demonstrated great confidence and comfort on the ball, as well as an ability to use both feet in taking her goal.
We are incredibly proud of Natalia, and having seen her grow as a player and person from the age of 9, it’s brilliant to see her continuing to play beyond her time with the club, and making an excellent start to her college years.
