Frontino Commits to UC Irvine
Santiago Canyon College Women's Soccer have now competed in the State Final Four, five times in the last seven years, winning two State and one National Championship in that time. The Hawks have also been crowned State Academic Champions for Women's Soccer three times in the last six years. The Hawks win-loss record over the last 10 years is 211-13-15, which includes the 2012 record of 23-1-1 which earned the Hawks the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Number 2 National Ranking.
However, arguably the program's most notable achievement is that every eligible sophomore student-athlete who has wanted to play at the four year level, has gone on to play at the university level. Some go out-of-state to school, other's stay more local transferring to schools such as UC Irvine, San Diego State, Loyola Marymount and UC Santa Barbara. Bianca Frontino is the latest to commit to join the NCAA Divison 1 ranks, committing to UC Irvine with a scholarship. Frontino follows Hawks alumni Kim Horn and Amanda Hardeman who both made a huge contribution to the Anteaters program.
We wish Bianca and our other out-going sophomores well as they continue their academic and athletic pathways towards earning a University Bachelors Degree. With out exception, our sophomore student-athletes have been great ambassadors for Santiago Canyon College and our Women's Soccer Program.

Hawks End Season With 23-1-1 Record
Walnut, CA - The Hawks came up one game short of an undefeated season with a 2 -0 loss in the State Final at a wet and wintry Mount San Antonio College. The Championship game was a clash of two perennial State title challengers with Santiago Canyon making their fifth appearance in the last seven seasons, and Cerritos making their third in the same time frame.
The Hawks had the better of the early exchanges but Ashley Cooper was called upon mid-way through the first half to make a fine triple stop. Bianca Frontino, Jennifer Martin and Rosario Gonzalez all went close, as Amanda Scheatzle wreaked havoc down the Hawks right. Neither team could find the composure to make the breakthrough and the teams went in to the break tied at 0 0.
In the second period the Hawks continued to push forward, with Martin hitting the post, then flashing a header wide and Gonzalez going close again. The first goal was always going to be critical in such a tight contest, and it came around the 70th minute mark. A low drive from the left was well stopped by Cooper in goal and the Falcons pounced to score the rebound. The Hawks responded almost immediately with Scheatzle creating an opening for herself before firing just wide of the upright. As the Hawks looked to push forward, the Falcons capitalized with 3 minutes remaining, lifting the ball over Cooper in to the far corner.
Santiago Canyon College Women’s Soccer finish the season 23-1-1, as 2012 Orange Empire Conference Champions, and as California Community College State Runner’s Up. A sincere thank you goes out all the support this team has had through out this season. Our college administration, faculty and classified continue to embrace the team. The program’s alumni have been a constant presence at games this season, as well as the rest of our athletic body, student-athletes and coaches alike. Family and friends near and far have supported this group in whatever way they could, as often as they could. On behalf of Santiago Canyon College Women’s Soccer program, thank you for your commitment to our 2012 team.

Late Drama
Orange, CA - The Hawks took one more step towards completing some unfinished business with a 3 - 2 win over the visiting Miramar Jets in the Southern California Regional Finals. Eight sophomores started for the Hawks, but it was a freshman who grabbed the headlines, with a goal 3 minutes from the end of the 30 minute overtime period to win the contest. A fascinating battle finished 2 - 2 in regulation, and culminated with a calm finish by Reanne Macon to move the Hawks on to the State Final Four next week-end. Seizing on some indecision in the Miramar defensive back line, Macon coolly slipped the ball under the keeper and the Hawks held out to seal a place as the highest seed in the State Semi-Finals.
In truth, the game should have been over by half-time. SCC
dominated from the kick-off, and Abieyuwa Ogiamien put the Hawks ahead with a fine left footed strike from the edge of the penalty area. The visiting Jets didn't register a shot on goal in the first-half, but as the Hawks failed to make the most of their opportunities, they were punished early in the second period. Some uncharacteristically sloppy defending allowed the Jets to equalize, and a well-organized and rejuvenated Miramar team looked to take control of the game. Undeterred the Hawks fought back, and Amanda Scheatzle lifted the ball over the keeper for Jamie Smith to slam home her first goal of the season. Once again the Jets responded to even the scoreline at 2 - 2.
Macon's overtime goal sealed the victory and Santiago Canyon now move on to a State Semi-Final game against Northern Californian opponents at Mount San Antonio College on Friday, November 30th at a time to be determined. Thanks go out to the tremendous support that came out to cheer on the Hawks today.

Hawks Moving On
Orange, CA - A goal by Jennifer Martin midway through the second half was enough to settle a scrappy contest between two teams that knew each other well. The first half had little rhythm to it as a result of a series of stoppages. For long periods, the Hawks controlled the game without ever really dominating a resilient and determined Coast side. The Pirates themselves rarely threatened but it wasn’t until Martin got beyond the Coast backline and clipped the ball beyond the keeper, that the deadlock was broken. Madison Cody looked to have grabbed a second later in the game but it was disallowed. The Hawks saw the game out relatively comfortably to move on to the next round.
Santiago Canyon College will now play an opponent to be determined at home this coming Saturday, November 24th. Kick-off is at 2pm.
Thanks to all of the Hawks following who came out to watch the game today.

Fullerton 0, Santiago Canyon 4
Fullerton, CA - A reinvigorated Fullerton Hornets team worked hard to keep the Hawks from scoring but ultimately four second-half goals meant that in the end SCC won comfortably.
In the first-half, a combination of good goal-keeping and poor finishing were evident on a difficult surface. The Hawk’s approach play was good but too often the final pass or the finish was not of the quality required.
SCC regrouped at half-time and with in ten minutes was two goals up. Madison Cody slotted the first and then Rosario Gonzalez converted after Dena Wasielewski had been taken down in the area. Tiara Deobaldia volleyed the third and Jenna Petel squared for Abieyuwa Ogiamien to round out the scoring.

Cypress 2 Santiago Canyon 2
Cypress, CA - Despite there being four goals in the contest, for the purist this highly anticipated match-up did not live up to the expectations.
It was the visiting Hawks who got on the board first, with Amanda Gomez opening the scoring, firing high and across the Cypress keeper from the edge of the penalty area in the 18th minute. Cypress tied it up shortly afterwards following in on a loose ball from a corner and it was 1-1 at the break.
With in a minute of the restart the Hawks were behind, with Cypress finishing from an almost identical shot to the opening goal of the game. In similar fashion, SCC responded with Gomez following in to head the equalizer after Cypress failed to deal adequately with a Rosario Gonzalez cross. Both teams had openings to win the game but neither team could capitalize in a game strewn with errors, and little cohesive play from either team.
The Hawks will look to bounce back at home to Saddleback College on Friday, October 12th at 3pm.

Road Win
Irvine, CA - Santiago Canyon scored early to win a conference game on the road at Irvine Valley College1-0. Amanda Gomez was the scorer in just the second minute. Whilst the Hawks continued to push through out the game for the second goal, a hard-working Lasers team denied them.
It was an interesting contest, at a good tempo given the searing heat. SCC moved the ball well and linked up down the flanks, but couldn’t convert the openings they created. The Hawks improved further on their first half-performance in the second period but didn’t add to the scoreline as the entire out-field squad was utilized. Cat Johnson collected the shut-out in goal with out having to make a second half save.

Hawks Contiinue Winning Streak
Orange, CA - The Hawks continued to lead the way with a win over the Golden West Rustlers. SCC out shot the visitors 22- 6 over the contest but it was the Rustlers who struck first, just 5 minutes in to the game on a counter-attack. SCC immediately responded but a combination of good goal-keeping and poor finishing meant the Hawks had to wait until just before the break to equalize. Amanda Gomez crossed for Abieyuwa Ogiamien to convert and the score was tied 1-1 at half-time.
SCC improved their energy levels after the break, and Jennifer Martin converted from a Bianca Frontino serve to give the Hawks the lead on the hour mark. SCC looked comfortable but with around ten minutes to go, the Rustlers pulled back the deficit. A powerful free-kick from 25 yards sailed wide of Ashley Coopers’ out-stretched hands and in to the top corner to tie the score at 2-2. The Hawks showed their character and responded once again. This time it was Jenna Petel who was on hand to slot home from close range to give the Hawks their ninth consecutive victory of the season.
Next up is a visit to Irvine Valley College on Tuesday, October 2nd. Kick-off is 3pm.

Hawks Dominant in 3-0 Victory
Santa Ana, CA - Santiago Canyon College beat district rival Santa Ana College for their 8th win of the 2012 season. Reanne Macon opened the scoring on fifteen minutes after Tiara Deobaldia had twice gone close. Macon latched on to a flick by Sam Jones and slotted the ball calmly under the keeper. Ashley Cooper in goal for the Hawks had not yet been called in to action, but had to tip a long range effort over the cross-bar on the half-hour mark. That was to be the only time in the game the hard-working Dons were to threaten the SCC goal. Minutes later Macon burst down the right and served across the face of the goal and Amanda Gomez headed in off the upright. The Hawks continued to threaten but had to settle for a 2-0 lead going in to the break.
After half-time, it was more of the same as Bianca Frontino and Abieyuwa Ogiamien both had opportunities. Gomez grabbed her second goal and the Hawks third, mid-way through the half to seal the points.

Saddleback 0, Santiago Canyon 3
Mission Viejo, CA - The Hawks dominated from beginning to end in a match that was most notable in that SCC took an hour to get on the scoreboard. A combination of some poor finishing, some brave goal-keeping and some last ditch defending prevented the Hawks from taking an earlier lead, and the home team were satisfied with a 0-0 scoreline at the half-time break.
In the second period, 3 goals in a ten minute time span around the hour mark sealed the points for the visitors. First Bianca Frontino converted after good work from Abieyuwa Ogiamien. Within a minute of the restart, the Hawks took a 2-0 lead. A slick move down the SCC left was finished superbly by Sam Jones as she struck the ball hard and high across the keeper in to the top corner. Ogiamien was then on hand to follow in a Reanne Macon strike for the third and the Hawks comfortably closed out the game to register the away win.

Hawks 3, Rams 1
Orange, CA - In the heat of the mid-day sun, the Hawks put on a commanding performance against a resilient Fresno Rams team. Santiago Canyon started the game brightly, dominating the early exchanges but struggled to convert the pressure in to goals. The visitors continually harried and when the Hawks did break down the Rams defense, SCC could not find the quality to finish. Then on 30 minutes, Fresno took the lead. After picking up a clearance, one of Fresno’s midfielders took a touch and rifled the ball in to the top corner. That goal only served to provide further impetus for the Hawks who replied with powerful strikes from Dena Wasielewski and Bianca Frontino to go in to the break with a 2-1 lead.
After half-time, the Hawks continued to dominate and as the game opened up, forwards Abieyuwa Ogiamien, Sam Jones and Tiara Deobaldia all went close. Fresno continued to be a threat with out creating much. Ashley Cooper in goal was not tested again as defenders Madison Cody, Shauna Salcido, Shannon Haley and Jamie Smith held strong. Substitute Amanda Scheatzle finished off the game as a contest with a good finish ten minutes from time.
The Hawks now move on to their first Orange Empire Conference game this coming Tuesday, against Saddleback College. The game will be played at J Serra high school with a 6.15pm kick-off time. Thanks to all those who came out to cheer on the Hawks today.

Pirates 1, Hawks 2
Ventura, CA - Two second-half goals by freshman Sam Jones earned the Hawks their first road win of the season at Ventura College. In a competitive, but scrappy and disjointed game, the Pirates took the lead mid-way through the first-half with a well-taken goal. The Hawks dominated for long periods territorially with out working the Pirates keeper and so had to respond in the second half.
Fifteen minutes in to the second forty-five, Sam Jones leveled the score from a through ball from Bianca Frontino. On seventy-five minutes Jones scored the winner, charging down a clearance from the Pirates keeper and turning the ball in to the net. The Hawks defended strongly throughout the second period with Madison Cody, Nicole Daniels and Shauna Salcido all completing 90 minutes. Keeper Ashley Cooper was not tested further in goal.
The Hawks play next on Saturday, September 8th at 11am at home to Fresno City College.

Hawks 2, Wolverines 0
Orange, CA - Two first-half goals at the beginning and end of the first-half separated the two annual Championship contenders in another entertaining encounter. A large and enthusiastic crowd was on hand to witness Bianca Frontino open the scoring after 10 minutes with a 20 yard drive as the Hawks dominated the early proceedings. Keeper Ashley Cooper came up big with a near-post save to keep SCC infront but otherwise the Hawks looked comfortable at the back. Freshman Reanne Macon then doubled the lead from the top of the box in the 42nd minute to take the Hawks in to the break two goals up.
Santiago Canyon started the second half well with out creating many chances. San Bernardino Valley continued to serve long but the Hawks resisted, limiting the Wolverines to shots from distance. In the 75th minute, Cooper was forced in to making another good stop but San Bernardino Valley could not convert the rebound and that was the last real pressure for the Hawks. Freshmen Lauren Lastra and Abieyuwa Ogiamien could have added a third but there was to be no further goals.
The win represents a solid starting point for the 2012 Hawks who travel to Ventura on Wednesday for a 5pm kick-off. Thanks to all those who came out for our annual community night to watch the game this evening and make it such an enjoyable atmosphere.

Hawks Dominate Huskies

In the opening period Bianca Frontino and Amanda Scheatzle shared 3 goals and 2 assists. The Huskies, who have been a play-off bound team for some years now, responded to the challenge and created a couple of openings themselves, forcing one good save from keeper Ashley Cooper.
After the half-time break, the Hawks looked more self-assured, playing with higher energy and defending better individually and collectively. Freshman Sam Jones tallied twice and Alexis Rigali scored with her first touch in collegiate soccer as the Hawks ran out comfortable 6-0 winners.

Hawks Flying High
Santa Ana, CA - So far this academic year, seven Hawks women’s soccer sophomores have committed to four-year universities across the nation for fall 2012. They will continue their studies whilst receiving various scholarships to continue to play at the collegiate level.
Those college commitments and the 2010/2011 State Academic Team Award, are not the only ways the Hawks soccer team has been flying high. Following on from some leadership training and a visit to Camp Pendleton for the day in January, the Hawks teamed up once again with the United States Marine Corps on Friday. Captain Hankle arranged for the women’s soccer team to fly a King Air E 90 aircraft. The Hawks student-athletes took to the skies 5 players at a time, taking-off from Orange County Airport and heading South down towards Dana Point. Each player in turn had the opportunity to take the steering and fulfill what for many was a lifetime dream of flying an aircraft. Pictured is All-American Athlete and team captain Janelle Hanna about to take the controls to guide the aircraft across the Orange County skyline.
Many thanks go out to Captain Lowman and Captain Hankle for allowing the team the opportunity fly, as part of the United States Marine Corps Flight Orientation program.
