Cougars take NWAACC 3rd placeNovember 21, 2011

Peninsula scored the game winner in the 29th minute on penalty kick goal by Jackie Rodgers. Cougar goalie Tori Wilkinson guessed correctly on the shot, but Rodgers buried it in the far corner beyond of Wilkinson reach.

November 3, 2011
Lane had the edge in ball control during the first half but only managed three shot on goal - the difference in the match was that the first connected. Kiki McDonagh scored on a header off a corner kick by Kenzie Harding in the fourth minute to give the Titans all they needed.
The second half was a different story as the Cougars hounded the Lane goal for 45 minutes but couldn't find the back of the net with several shots going just inches wide of the goal.
As the last home match of the season, CCC honored its three sophomores (Yazzy Coto, Ashley Brewer and Jasmin Garcia) prior to the match.

Cougars dominate SW OregonOctober 25, 2011
OREGON CITY -- Eighth-ranked Clackamas (8-3-0, 8-4-1) pounded the SW Oregon Laker defense for most of the matches' 90 minutes Tuesday at home as the Cougars won their sixth consecutive match 6-0.
The Laker defense is one of the weakest of the league's 23 teams, allowing 64 goals this season (4.9 gpm) while the offense has only hit pay dirt just four times in thirteen matches this season.
Freshman Courtney Johnson tallied the opening goal in the 35th minute as she battled past a Laker defender to slot the ball past the keeper to make it 1-0. The second goal came in the 40th minute when freshman Ali Scharbach fed the ball up the middle to sophomore Ashley Brewer who got a one-on-one with the keeper and chipped it past her for a 2-0 CCC lead.
CCC used the long ball effectively in the second half and the Laker defense began to crack under intense pressure as Clackamas sent a barrage of shots at the SWOCC goal keeper throughout the half.
Freshman Kelsie Knight got her seventh goal in the 49th minute on a pass from freshman Sandra Tinoco to make it 3-0. Sophomore Yasmina Coto launched a rocket from 25 yards out that sailed past the keeper in the 59th minute then notched her third goal of the season three minutes later on an assist from Knight to give CCC a 5-0 lead. Coto returned the favor in the 85th minute feeding Knight a pass that she launched from 20 yards out that bounced off the upper crossbar and landed just inside the goal line for the matches' final score.
CCC decided to rest starting keeper Tori Wilkinson to allow a minor injury to heal. Knight suited up as keeper for the first half and freshman Sevilla Soriano took the duties in the second. CCC's ball control did not allow either Cougar keeper to see much action. The shutout was CCC's fifth in a row and sixth on the season.
Clackamas, with 24 points, is now a just five points from clinching their sixth Southern Region title. Lane is in second place with 19 points and Clark, with 12 points is trying to hold on to the South's final playoff spot [standings].
The Cougars are back in action on Saturday, October 29th as they visit SW Oregon (0-11-0, 1-12-0) in Coos Bay. Match is slated for a 12pm kickoff.

The goal was Hamacher's first as a Cougar and the assist was Tinoco's second. Keeper Tori Wilkinson and the CCC defense recorded their fifth shutout on the season.
The win keeps CCC (7-3-0, 7-4-1) in first place in the Southern Region standings.

She collected her second in the 31st minute when she connected on a free kick from sophomore midfielder Yasmina Coto from 12 yards out to up the score to 2-0 before the half.
Freshman defender Sevilla Soriano electrified the Cougar fans when she connected on a header from a Coto corner kick in the 78th minute to cap the scoring.

Defending league champions Walla Walla scored the game winner in the 10th minute and led 2-0 at the half. CCC got off to a rough second half as the high powered Warrior offense (42 goals this season) scored three more in the first twelve minutes to seal the win.
"It was a good weekend with invaluable experience for our women, many who are new to the team," said coach Szpara. "The competition was high caliber and the squad bounced back strong following the Walla Walla loss to play very solid against Spokane."
CCC is now 2-2-0 in region play and 2-4-1 overall following a brutal opening schedule that included four of the NWAACC's top six ranked teams. The Cougars are tied with Clark for first place in the Southern Region standings.

Cougars take early control of Southern RegionSeptember 16, 2011
OREGON CITY -- The Cougars got off to a great start in region play this week with a convincing 10-0 win over Wenatchee Valley on Saturday and a 2-1 win over Yakima Valley Thursday. The two wins, on the heels of a draw and a loss at the NWAACC Friendies Tournament, improves the CCC's record to 2-0-0 in region play and 2-1-1 overall.
The Wenatchee (0-1-1, 1-3-1) game was highlighted by three Cougars pulling off hat tricks in the victory. Sophomore Ashley Brewer and Freshmen Kelsie Knight & Sandra Tinoco each recorded three goals in the match. Knight drew first blood in the contest, scoring three goals in the first 15 minutes of the match to give the Cougars a commanding 3-0 lead. Freshman McCall Morgan also notched her first collegiate goal while sophomore Jasmin Garcia and Brewer recorded assists during the match. Cougar freshman goal keeper Tori Wilkinson recorded her first shut out of the season [match stats].
The Yakima Valley (2-1-0, 3-2-1) contest on Thursday proved to be a more challenging match up for the Cougars. CCC had ball control advantage much of the opening minutes, but Yakima's Adrianna Jones found herself in a one on one with Wilkinson and slipped the ball past her for the game's opening goal in the fifth minute. CCC continued to hold most of the ball possession and finally hit pay dirt when Tinoco fed a beautiful pass from the right side to Courtney Johnson up the middle. Johnson one touched it pass the Yak keeper to knot the contest at 1-1 with 30 seconds remaining in the half.
Sophomore Yazy Coto gave CCC all it needed in the 54th minute when she launched a rocket from 30 yards out that sailed past Yakima sophomore keeper Amanda Freisz to put CCC up 2-1. Knight was credited with the assist on Coto's game winner [match stats].
"The squad is playing well and steadily improving with each match," commented head coach Janine Szpara. " We have a lot of room for improvement, but the team is working hard and they enjoy what they are doing. With ten freshman and only three sophomores, we have a fairly new squad and they are still getting to know each other and making adjustments."
CCC sits atop of the Southern Region standings with a pair of region wins and six points while the rest of the South is still looking for their first region win [standings].
The Cougars will host the Columbia Basin Hawks (1-0-0, 3-0-0) Friday at Oregon City HS Pioneer Stadium [map]. Game time is set for a 1pm kickoff. The Hawks are traditionally one of the best teams in the league and should provide CCC with one of their toughest challenges of the season [schedule].
