San Diego City bounced back from last week's conference-opening loss to Miramar with a 2-0 shutout home win over Imperial Valley to improve to 1-1 in the PCAC and 2-2 overall. Juliette Salgado Garcia and Maya Beltran each scored first-half goals to propel the Knights to victory.
Salgado got the Knights a very early lead with her first goal of the season in the seventh minute. She received a cross from Christiana Macias just inside the 18-yard box and beat IVC's keeper with a strike to the far post.
The Knights, who outshot IVC 10-1 in the first half, kept pushing forward looking to add to their lead and it didn't take long to get the second goal. In the 21st minute, it was Salgado who set it up with a through-ball up the middle to Beltran who one-timed it into the right side of the net.
Starting City goalkeeper Ximena Flores saved IVC's only shot on target in the first half and Bree Ortega stopped two shots in the second half to help preserve the clean sheet.
San Diego City's will be back on the home field on Tuesday against Cuyamaca at 3 p.m.
