It was one of those days for the West Valley women's soccer team. The Vikings couldn't mount a consistent offensive attack or stop Folsom Lake on defense in WVC's 8-0 loss to the Falcons Tuesday at Dick Schwendinger Field.

The teams were scoreless until Folsom Lake (4-0-0) stuck at 34' and 37' for a 2-0 halftime lead. The score remained the same until the Folcons found the back of the net in rapid fashion at 68', 74', 78', 83', 87' and 90'. 

West Valley (2-3-1) will put this one in the rearview mirror as it prepares for two more undefeated teams from the Big 8 Conference this weekend. American River (3-0) visits Dick Schwendinger Field Friday (9/17), while Sierra (3-0) comes to town Sunday. Kickoff is 4pm Friday and noon Sunday.
