Tempers Fly as Santa Ana Defeats Fullerton 4-0

SANTA ANA , CA – Santa Ana College (SAC) and Fullerton College (FCC) started the game evenly matched with similar records and the first half of play reflected this. The teams battled throughout the first 45 minutes with both getting equal scoring opportunities.

The scored remained at 0-0 until there was less than six minutes left in the half when Ramon Quintana (Valencia HS) scored to put the Dons up early 1-0. Less than two minutes later Ignacio Cruz sent a pass to Cesar Nava who took a long shot from straight away and scored to extend the lead to 2-0.

SAC scored again just five minutes into the second half when Nava scored again, this time it was a slow rolling ball that got past the keeper to put the Dons up 3-0. Anthony Gomez scored the final goal of the game with five minutes left in regulation when he scored off of a rebound.

The two teams played hard throughout the game, unfortunately the ongoing rivalry heated up once again with four yellow cards and four red cards being issued during the course of the game. FCC had both an assistant coach and its head coach ejected from the game late in the second half.

Julian Hernandez (Bolsa Grande HS) had another strong performance for the Dons playing 75 minutes and making five saves.
