The Pirates soccer team advanced to the SoCal Regional Semifinals Saturday with a 3-1 victory over Los Angeles Pierce College at the Sportsplex. Sophomore Melissa Cardenas scored the game-winner in the 64th minute on a header from a corner kick by Sarah Garcia. "Chica", who prepped at Oxnard High School, also had a solid outing in the back of the defense as the Brahmas desperately searched for an equalizer late in the game. For her efforts, Melissa has been named this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week proudly sponsored by Snapper Jack's Taco Shack.
