PCC Womens Water Polo Records First Shutout Win in a Decade

The Pasadena City College women’s water polo team limited host El Camino to just seven shots on goal as the Lancers recorded their first shutout win in 10 years in a 16-0 victory at the El Camino Mini Tournament September 18.

Head Coach Terry Stoddard’s Lancers are 2-3 this season.

PCC goalie Clarque DeYoung made six saves. Pasadena jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first quarter and ran away with the match. The last time a Lancers team shut out an opponent was Oct. 28, 2005 v. Santa Monica (14-0) at the Pasadena Mini Tournament.

Irma Sarac scored on all six of her shot attempts, and added team-highs in steals with eight and assists with four. Marley Reyes tallied five goals and sophomore Sharon Perez scored two goals with four assists and five steals. Team captain Ariahn Givens only played in the first half and picked up two goals, two assists and four steals.

Also at the ECC Tournament, PCC lost to Los Angeles Valley, 16-5, despite 10 saves by DeYoung. Krysten Proctor scored two goals as did Givens, who added seven steals.

On September 16, the Lancers opened South Coast Conference action and suffered a 14-3 loss at Chaffey. Givens made eight steals and scored a goal while Proctor scored the other two PCC goals. DeYoung made 14 saves.
