For the first time in Oxnard College’s history, their soccer team won the state championship on December 6, 2015 defeating Evergreen Valley College 2-1 in overtime. It was all team effort according to the goalie who leaped to make a stunning save that helped secure the victory. He told the Ventura Count Star, “”But we stayed together. That’s our motto — ‘Juntos‘ — we stayed together until the very end.” This victory shows how discipline and teamwork can lead to success. Many of these players are first-generation student athletes who come from mixed status families.
