MARYSVILLE – Freshman Jonathan Perez knocked in the first goal of the season for Ohlone College but the Renegades couldn't hang on to a first-half lead and suffered a 2-1 loss at Yuba College in both teams' opening game of 2023.
Perez broke free to open the scoring in the 33rd minute off the assist from freshman Jaime Lozano to give Ohlone a 1-0 lead. The Renegades took the narrow advantage into the break but it didn't last long as Yuba scored the equalizer in the 47th minute and went ahead for good late in the 88th minute to snatch a draw away from the visitors.
Freshman Pedro Velez totaled four saves in goal for Ohlone.
The Renegades return to action next Friday (Sep. 1) in search of their first win when they travel to San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton for a 4 p.m. non-conference game.
