The other candidates are Ara Najarian and incumbents Robert Holmes, Martin Pilgreen and Anita Quinonez Gabrielian.

Saro Sarkisian LOS ANGELES -- Maybe it was the poor field conditions or the tough competition from its opponent, but it took the Glendale Community College men's soccer team quite some time before it came through in the clutch Monday. The Vaqueros scored its first goal in the 80th minute on a half-thrashed field to defeat East Los Angeles College, 2-0, in a nonconference match at John Ferraro Fields in Griffith Park. "I know (ELAC) hasn't been good all year and we should have put them away in the first half," Vaquero Coach Joe Agoston said.

Charles Rich They've had two weeks to celebrate after winning their first game of the season in dramatic fashion. Can the members of the Glendale Community College football team string together another victory after pulling off a come-from-behind 27-21 win Oct. 4 against East Los Angeles College? The Vaqueros, who scored the winning touchdown when linebacker Ryan Workman recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, will find out at 1 p.m. today when they meet visiting Ventura College in a Western State Conference interdivisional game at Moyse Field.

GLENDALE — Just two weeks into the season, there are already some similarities between the Glendale Community College and Riverside Community College football programs. At least that’s the observation made by second-year Glendale college Coach John Rome. “Their offense is similar to ours in running outside the zone and off-tackle,” said Rome, whose team will host the Tigers in a nonconference contest at 6 p.m. today at Sartoris Field. “Defensively, they are fast, and we’ve upgraded our defense with speed.

LOS ANGELES — A near record breaking night of offensive firepower was the story line of the Glendale Community College football team’s last meeting with East Los Angeles College, but in escaping the Huskies’ stadium with a 33-28 win on Saturday, the Vaqueros were very much on the defensive. East Los Angeles scored two touchdowns within a 3 minute 16 second span of the fourth quarter to cut a 20–point deficit to just five points and took possession of the ball once again at its own 20–yard line with just under two minutes left in the game.

GLENDALE - All 10 regular-season matchups remain the same for the Glendale Community College football team in 2009, with locations being the only departure from the previous season’s schedule. In preseason and Northern Conference National Division play, the Vaqueros will host the five teams they visited last year and vice versa, as they attempt to build on last year’s 3-7 record (1-5 in conference) in their second year under Coach John Rome. In its first season in the Northern Conference, after years in the Western State Conference, things got away from the team quickly once conference play heated up last year, as it finished the season on a five-game losing streak.

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — Dark clouds and a pelting rain put a premature stop to the Glendale Community College softball team’s double-header against Southwestern College at the Glendale Sports Complex on Thursday. The storm was part of a front of bad weather that had already forced the cancellation of a Vaqueros women’s tennis match on Thursday and is likely to rain out more of the college’s scheduled athletic events over the coming days. Glendale college trailed Southwestern, 7-2, when the opener was called after the conclusion of the third inning, short of being an official game.

GLENDALE — Three games into the season, the Glendale Community College football team couldn’t find itself in a better position — feeling comfortable in a familiar setting. Having a two-game winning streak doesn’t hurt the Vaqueros’ cause, either, having posted a lopsided win against East Los Angeles College before recording a stellar defensive effort to topple Riverside City College. Glendale college (2-1) will begin a three-game homestand at 7 p.m. today when it meets Orange Coast Community College (3-0)

GLENDALE — As one-sided as the Glendale Community College football team’s most recent win was, its next opponent is capable of putting the shoe on the other foot in a hurry. The Vaqueros had a few moments to bask in their 75-21 destruction of East Los Angeles College at home last week, a win that evened their season record at 1-1, but for the past few days have been focused on preparing for a Riverside College team ranked 12th in Southern California and 20th in the state.
