Arizona Western College’s women’s soccer team continued an exceptional season with a 5–0 home victory over Mohave Community College to secure a place in the Region One Championship. After completing an unbeaten regular season, AWC took control early as Momo Chogyogi and Kanon Ozaki converted in the opening stages, setting the tone for a dominant performance that left Mohave searching for answers.
The win took place at AWC’s home field and represents a clear statement from a program that has been strong throughout the year. The five-goal margin and clean sheet underscore both an attack capable of creating and finishing chances and a defense that can shut down opponents in high-pressure postseason play. Advancing to the Region One Championship places the Lobos among the region’s top junior college teams and keeps local fans invested as the postseason intensifies.
For Yuma County the result has several immediate impacts. Athletics at Arizona Western are a focal point of community identity, and deep postseason runs generate increased attendance, local media attention, and game-day revenue for nearby businesses. Youth soccer players and local schools often look to successful college programs for role models and development pathways, so AWC’s progression into the regional championship can bolster youth participation and community support for the sport.
From a program perspective, advancing in the postseason helps with recruiting and program momentum. Prospective student-athletes evaluate playing opportunities, exposure in championship settings, and the chance to compete for titles; a Region One berth strengthens AWC’s competitive profile. Maintaining defensive solidity while producing early goals, as seen in this match, will be critical as the level of competition rises in the championship round.
Looking ahead, the Region One Championship will test AWC against the best teams from surrounding community colleges. Success there can open opportunities for national tournament consideration and attract further institutional investment in facilities and coaching. For now, coaches, players and supporters can celebrate a well-earned victory that capped an unbeaten regular season and kept local hopes high.
As the Lobos prepare for the next stage, the community will be watching to see how far this resilient group can carry Yuma County’s banner in regional play.
