Men's Soccer: Bakersfield Nearly Sweeps Superlatives as WSC South Postseason Awards are Announced
Bakersfield College nearly swept the postseason superlative awards after claiming the program's fourth consecutive Western State Conference (South) title with a 6-1-3 against league foes.
The Renegades saw three individuals claim major awards on the postseason list. Jordee Magana was selected as the Co-Offensive Player of the Year after registering 11 goals, four assists, and four game-winning goals against conference opponents in his freshman season. Elijah Espinoza picked up the Defensive Player of the Year nod after serving as a critical pillar to BC's backline defense that allowed just nine goals through 10 conference contests. Cesar Navarro was tabbed as the Goalie of the Year with a 0.82 goals-against average and 22 saves in WSC South action.
Antelope Valley's Chisom Ene was also dubbed the Co-Offensive Player of the Year with five goals, three being game-winners, and three assists in conference action.
LA Pierce's head coach, Julio Castillo, rounded out the list of major honorees as the Coach of the Year after leading the Brahmas to a third place finish in the first season of the program's resurrection after a 43-year hiatus.
