The Long Beach City College women's soccer team fell short in its upset attempt as it opened the 2011 season with a 2-1 non-conference loss at No. 5 nationally-ranked Ventura College on Thursday night.

Trailing 2-0, LBCC sophomore forward Claudia Toledo finally got the Vikings on the board with her goal in the 50th minute. But the Vikings would get no closer.

Long Beach (0-1) wraps up the Ventura Tournament with a 5 pm game on Friday against Fresno City College.
