Pierce Soccer: A spirit Unmatched

The Pierce College women’s soccer team is undefeated [at the time of print] this semester despite a record number of injuries, two of which are seasonending.

The Brahmas have won 10 state conferences in the past. They have also made it to the semi-finals of the state championships three times.

Every day at 5 p.m. the team meets on the soccer field to train and prepare for games.

Beginning with drills designed to get muscles active, the team lines up on the field and sprints to orange cones positioned in an arrow formation.

Although practice is designed to improve physical strength and agility, the team also gathers to discuss issues related to mental readiness.

With the current injuries, the team is relying on playable athletes for the current season.

“Get fit,” was the advice Head Coach Adolfo Perez said he would give to his players going forward.

“If everyone gets healthy, we’ll do fine,” Perez said. “I think we are organized and are seeking out opportunities.”

The Brahmas’ next home game will be on Friday Sept. 23 at 4 p.m., where they hope to continue with their undefeated success.
