Cristal Vargas, Women's Soccer - Week of Sept. 29-Oct. 5

Winners of three straight and five of the last six, the Pirate soccer team is red hot atop the Western State Conference standings.  Sophomore Cristal Vargas has been a major contributor to VC's resurgence after a slow start to the season. The Hueneme High School product is back after an injury a year ago and leading the Pirate offense from the front of the attack. She has scored twice with an assist in the past five games, including a goal last Friday as the Pirates defeated Cuesta 2-0. For her outstanding effort, Cristal is this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by M & M Sports.
