Crooymans Carries Citrus Past Glendale

Citrus College picked up its third Western State Conference victory Friday afternoon, downing Glendale College 6-1.

The Owls improve to 5-2-2 on the year and 3-0-1 in conference with the win, while the Vaqueros drop to 1-7-1 overall, 0-4-0 in WSC action.

Jordan Crooymans had a stellar game, scoring three goals and assisting twice. She scored her first two goals within two and a half minutes from each other. The first came after she pinged the post on a shot but followed through and tapped in the rebound. Less than three minutes later, she was in the right place at the right time as a Vaquero deflection fell right to her in the 18-yard box and she put it away.

Glendale stunned Citrus in the 63^rd minute after scoring a goal to cut the margin to one, but the Owls came alive and put four more goals away to secure the victory.

In the 65^th minute, Crooymans completed the hat trick after one-touching in a corner kick pass from Stevie Spencer.

Less than five minutes later Megan Sewell scored her first collegiate goal, before Jayme Beatty (75^th minute) and Dianna Garcia (77^th minute) also got in on the scoring action to seal the victory for the Owls.

Citrus remains at home as College of the Canyons comes to town on Tuesday for a 6:30 p.m. contest.
