Long Beach cruises to 8-0 rout of visiting L.A. Harbor

Freshman forward Claudia Toledo recorded her second straight hat trick and the Long Beach City College women's soccer team rolled to an easy 8-0 South Coast Conference win over visiting Los Angeles Harbor College on Friday at LBCC.

Five different Vikings scored and the Long Beach defense didn't allow a shot by the Seahawks.

The Vikings led 4-0 after 45 minutes thanks to first-half goals from sophomore Karina Ponce (4th minute), two from Toledo (17th, 37th), and freshman Ashlynn Bolt (39th).

Bolt got the scoring going for LBCC in the second half with her second goal of the contest in the 68th minute. Sophomore defender Angela Fornaseri recorded a penalty kick goal in the 81st minute and Toledo wrapped up her hat trick with her third goal in the 87th minute.

Starting freshman goal keeper Sara Thatcher closed out the scoring for the Vikings when she came on the field to record a goal in the 89th minute.

Thatcher (55 minutes) and sophomore Ileana Aparicio (35 minutes) combined for Long Beach’s eighth shutout of the season.
