PALM DESERT, Calif - College of the Desert women's soccer suffered a 2-1 setback at the hands of San Diego Miramar in front of a raucous home crowd Friday evening at Boone Field.
The Lady Roadrunners jumped on the board first in the 32nd minute, when sophomore midfielder Brenda Arauz (Cathedral City, CA/Cathedral City HS) finished off a nice assist from freshman midfielder Reyna Gutierrez (Desert Hot Springs, CA/Desert Hot Springs HS).
The COD defense held strong, and entered the break with its 1-0 lead in tact. Freshman goalkeeper Britney Vargas (Palm Desert, CA/La Quinta HS) held the fort for the Lady Roadrunners, as she made two saves in the first half.
San Diego Miramar brought a ferocious attack to the second 45, and earned the tying goal in the game's 59th minute. As COD tried to hold for a draw, Miramar pushed for their game-winning goal via a shot from the left wing in the 72nd minute.
The Lady Roadrunners (3-2-1) return to their home field next Tuesday, September 15 for a 4 p.m. match against West Los Angeles.
