Wolverines Earn Top Awards in PCAC

Awards are beginning to roll in for the San Bernardino Valley College women's soccer team after its run to the state final four in the 2018 season.

Pacific Coast Athletic Conference coaches announced their picks for the all-conference team this week, and two members of the Wolverines' team took top honors.

Sophomore Karen Jacobs was chosen the conference's Player of the Year. The Redlands High graduate led the Wolverines with 18 goals on the season, eight of them coming in conference play. Two of the goals were game-winners. She added 13 assists for a potent Wolverines' offense.

San Bernardino Cajon graduate Caitlyn Sauceda was chosen the conference's Offensive Player of the Year. Listed as a defender, Sauceda shifted into the midfield and was often a catalyst for the Wolverines through the middle of the field. She ended the season with 14 goals - 10 in PCAC play - while adding nine assists - 5 in conference. She also had two game-winning goals this season.

Joining Jacobs and Sauceda on the first team was the defensive trio of sophomores Monica Garcia (Bloomington), Shantee Martin (Grand Terrace) and Kayla Storm (Roosevelt). The Wolverines' defense only allowed one goal in PCAC-North Division play, posting nine shutouts.

Chosen for the second team were: Marcela Gallo (La Quinta), Nayeli Sandoval (Bloomington), Jacqueline Garcia (San Gorgonio), Vanessa Casillas (Bloomington), Stephanie Doran (Grand Terrace), and Alexis Caceres (Rowland).
