Road proves hospitable to Coast Union soccer teams

After her soccer team won two of the four remaining road games this season — a pair of shutouts against Wonderful College Prep in Delano (3-0) on Jan. 18 and against Anzar High School in San Juan Bautista (6-0) on Saturday, Jan. 20 — Coast Union coach Brooklin Brumund said her players “son’t want the season to end.”

In a text interview, Brumund added: “We’ve had such a good time, and I don’t want it to end, either.”

Those two recent wins boosted the Lady Broncos’ soccer record to 7-8. After losing five of their first six games, then losing on back-to-back days this month to Fresno Christian and Liberty High School, the soccer team is enjoying the glow of victory.

“Winning is a ton of fun,” Brumund continued. “But we’ve also had a blast with the games we haven’t been victorious in throughout the season. They’ve come so far and love the game. I think their love for the game is what fuels them.”

In the victory at Anzar, senior Martha Gomez-Mora had a pair of goals, as did junior Ailyn Casas. Senior Karina Mendoza and senior Ashley Colin each chipped in with a goal.

Friday, Jan. 26, the team will be on the road playing Laguna Blanca in Santa Barbara, and on Feb. 2, Coast travels to King City to close out the season.
