The Bulldogs remained unbeaten in WAC play at 3-0-0 after blanking host Pacheco 5-0 on Thursday in Los Banos.

Breanna Moreno had one assist.

Angelmarie Coral made three saves at goalkeeper.

Arreola had one goal and one assist.

Coral had two saves.

Ceres High outscored Patterson 2-0 during the second half.

Ceres High won its WAC opener by shutout, 9-0, at Los Banos on Jan. 3.

Ceres High, which had a 4-2-2 overall record as of Tuesday morning, will face Central Valley and Los Banos this week.

The Bulldogs will look to continue their unbeaten streak in WAC play. "It's always good to start league with wins," Saldate said. "It gives the girls more confidence."
