LANCASTER, CALIF. — The College of the Canyons women's soccer program has been crowned conference champion for the seventh straight season after claiming a 4-1 victory over Antelope Valley College on Friday.
Canyons (15-2, 6-0) scored three goals in the second half to cement its status as the Western State Conference (WSC), East Division champions.

AVC (8-6-4, 1-4-3) tried to make things interesting with a scoring play by Alyssa Sanchez that made it a 2-1 game in the 78th minute. But the Cougars were quick to respond, with Solis notching her second goal of the night in the 85th minute.
