Oxnard College Clinches WSC North Championship with 4–0 Victory Over LA Pierce

The Oxnard College men's soccer team capped off a terrific regular season with a dominant 4–0 win over LA Pierce College on Tuesday afternoon, securing the Western State Conference (WSC) North Championship and solidifying their position among the top teams in California.

With the victory, the Condors improve to 11–2–3 overall and 6–0–2 in conference play, finishing undefeated in WSC competition and earning the title since 2022.

The Condors struck early when Emmanuel Yarjah opened the scoring in the 7th minute, assisted by Javier Sanchez. From there, Oxnard maintained full control, outshooting Pierce 5–0 and holding possession for most of the match.

Star forward Ernesto Rodriguez delivered a spectacular second half, netting a hat trick with goals in the 48th, 55th, and 63rd minutes — two of them unassisted — to put the game out of reach. Brayan Garibay added an assist, while goalkeeper Jesus Gonzalez recorded the clean sheet without facing a single shot on goal.
