This road trip wraps up their non-conference play at 5-1, which is the best start in program history for the Tigers.
First Half Firepower
Reedley wasted little time finding the back of the net, with junior forward Jessica Batres scoring twice in the first 12 minutes. The first goal came just six minutes into the match, assisted by forward Nevaeh Moncada, setting the tone early. Batres struck again at the 12-minute mark off a feed from midfielder Andrea Sandoval to give the Tigers a comfortable 2-0 lead.
Despite Cabrillo's efforts to respond, Reedley's defense stood firm throughout the half. Goalkeeper Briar Estes kept a clean sheet in the first 45 minutes, turning away all two shots on goal.
Strong Defensive Effort
Reedley's defensive line, anchored by players like defender Syrrai Hurd and midfielder Jazmine Castaneda, limited Cabrillo's offensive opportunities. Cabrillo managed just five shots on goal the entire match, none of which could penetrate Reedley's back line. Reedley's second goalkeeper, Jasmine Lupian, entered for the second half and continued the shutout with three saves, preserving the clean sheet through 90 minutes.
