Top Gun Champion

Every Spring season the women's soccer team competes for an Top Gun Champion. This is an individual competition where points are garnered in a team setting. Each day at training when you are placed on a team if your team wins, then you will receive a point as an individual. Teams are comprised of different members each day. The individual who can affect change to facilitate their team winning daily will receive the most amount of points. Therefore, collecting a 'Top Gun' title. This year we had a Top-Gun-Off. At the conclusion of spring we had a tie with Senior Kym Gause and Junior Daisy Vazquez. The winner was determined through the best of three events. The first event was 'Dip it' a version of hand soccer, which Kym's team won in a 5-4 battle. The second event was a crossbar challenge where in round 8 Daisy hit the crossbar to win, but kym followed with a shot right off the crossbar. In round 9 Kym again pinged it off the bar for the win. There was no need for a final event as Kym Guase is the Top Gun Champion for 2011.

Soccer Tennis Championships

The CSUB Women’s Soccer team ended their spring season this year with a soccer tennis tournament at the campus tennis courts. Teams consisted of two players, which the girls picked themselves as well as designing their own attire for the event. The competition involved each pair competing in four games to rack up as many points as possible. Each game had three points up for grabs for the team who hit eleven points first. Rules were set out beforehand and restricted each player to three touches as well as only one bounce on each side of the net. The top four teams based on the points played off in the semi-finals to fifteen and the two winners rallied it out in a championship game to twenty-one points. The semi-finalists consisted of Sam Pena and Raquel Gervas who lost 15-7 to Coach Melissa Phillips and Tucker as well as Jessica Fogeltanz and Maritza Rumbo who were defeated 15-6 by Daisy Vasquez and Adriana Valdez.
The championship game was watched by all the spectators and was what eventually separated the champions from the girls. The girls were unable to get past the coaches as Coach Mel and future Coach Tucker were victorious and remained undefeated in a 21-18 win over Daisy and Adriana.
