TRINIDAD, Colo. – The Western Nebraska Community College women's soccer team got back on the winning track with an impressive win over Trinidad State College in the 3-2 win.

            WNCC finishes the regular season at 7-6 as they enter the Region IX tournament postseason next weekend and WNCC coach Todd Rasnic said the women more than likely will face Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyoming, next weekend.

            The Cougar women started slow in the contest with Trinidad as the Trojans' Yaddelis Alderete got things going first with a goal for the 1-0 lead.

            WNCC scored the equalizer when Andrea Jimenez took a pass from Aileen Perez and found the back of the net. The goal by Jimenez was the first goal for the Cougars in two weeks. The two teams were knotted at 1-1 at intermission.

            The second half started as the Cougars' Vicky Granda made it 2-1 as Granda sent the penalty kick into the net for the lead.

            The lead was short-lived as Trinidad came back and tied the match as Alderete scored her second goal.

            The game stayed tied until WNCC went ahead for good as Lesley Vasquez scored off an assist from Tania Razo with about 10 minutes to play and then they kept the Trojans at bay the rest of the contest.

            WNCC was dominant on the offensive end with 28 shots in the contest with 13 on goal. Trinidad had just 10 shots with six on frame.

            Perez had four shots with all on frame, while Vasquez had seven shots and two on frame.    Jimenez had six shots with two on goal, while Granda was two of three shots on frame.

            WNCC also controlled the corner kicks with seven compared to just one for Trinidad.
