TORRANCE, Calif. - Ashley Ruiz scored her first career hat trick for the Warriors as the El Camino College women's soccer team defeated LA City College 6-0 at home on Tuesday afternoon.

The Warriors (11-3-1, 6-1 SCC) also along with the men's team completed a perfect record at home for the regular season.  The Warriors went 8-0 at home for the season. 

The Warriors outshot the Cub 36-to-4 for the game with 15 shots on goal. This was the most shots the Warriors have had in a single game all season.  

Allison Sibley scored the first goal of the game in the 6th minute for her 21st goal of the season.  Claire Mahon stole the ball and passed it up to Catherine Curwood-Wagner who played a through ball down the left side to Sibley who easily shot it past the keeper on the far post to make it a 1-0 game.  

The Warriors made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute for Ruiz's first goal of the day.  Natalie Rodriguez played a ball down the right side to Bella Baligad.  Baligad dribbled down towards the endline and sent a cross that went untouched across the box to Ruiz who poked the ball into the net.

The Warriors took a 2-0 lead into halftime with an 18-to-3 shot advantage.

The Warriors made it 3-0 early in the second half in the 49th minute.  Allsion Sibley dribbled down the right side of the box and sent a cross into the middle.  Ruby Colcol was the first person to touch it and got the ball past the keeper to make it a 3-0 game.
