The outstanding DVC squad continued its historic march in the regional soccer playoffs.
The Diablo Valley College women's soccer team earned its first trip to the state final four with a 1-0 win over San Joaquin Delta on Nov. 26 in Round 3 of the NorCal regional playoffs.
Noelle Lemos scored the winner in the 79th minute, her 19th goal of the season. The Vikings (17-1-6), who earned their first Big 8 Conference title this season and the No. 1 seed in the north region, will next face Santa Barbara on Dec. 2 in the CCCAA semifinals at Ventura College. The winner will face either Cerritos or Folsom Lake in the state final on Dec. 4.
Lemos, a transfer from UC Davis where she redshirted, has six goals in three playoff games, including a hat trick in a 4-0 win over Las Positas in Round 2 and two goals in a 6-1 win over Solano in Round 1.
