scoring on the left side of goal from a low cross from Lopez and then a low, left center strike
from a second Lopez assist.
The second half continued the Lady Titans’ dominance. Lopez scored her second goal of the
match at the 65th minute, with an assist from Lucia Reyes (No. 6), launching a powerful strike
from 22 yards out. The fourth goal came at 80 minutes when Citlali Alcantar (No.4) connected on
a 35-yard strike, assisted by Karen Gallardo (No. 10).
The final goal of the match, sealing the Lady Titans’ historic victory, was scored by defensive
midfielder, Lucia Reyes, (No. 6) at the 86th minute with an assist from Sherlyn Sanchez (No.5), on
a cross in front of goal from the right side of the 18-yard box.
“This extraordinary win will forever be remembered as the first victory in CGTC history for both
our programs,” said head coach Kike Fuentes-Duarte. “It sets a strong foundation for both the
men's and women's teams and gives our community a big sense of pride. I look forward to our
program building off this momentum and continuing to make history.”
The Titans men’s team (0-2, 0-0) fell 6-1 at home to the Trinity Baptist College Eagles out of
Jacksonville, FL. Forward, Christian Spielman (No. 11), netted the first goal in the 9th minute for
the men’s program on a right-side strike to beat the Eagles goalkeeper low, before the Eagles
asserted their control over the game late in the first half.
