Coming out of high school, Guerrero was rated the No. 16 high school recruit and No. 3 goalkeeper in US according to Rise Magazine. He committed to playing collegiate soccer at the University of Portland under coach Bill Irwin. [3]

College career

In 2007, in his debut season at the University of Portland, Guerrero was named to the Copa de Causeway All-Tournament Team and won WCC League Player of the Week honors on October 8, [4] registering 9 saves in a shutout against San Diego. At one point, he held a scoreless streak of 435 consecutive minutes without allowing a goal. Ultimately, Guerrero led the Portland to an NCAA playoff appearance after leading the WCC in shutouts (8) and saves (85). He was named to the All-WCC First Team and All-Freshman team, [5] in addition to being named to Soccer America's National All-Freshman Team, [6] Top Drawer Soccer's National All-Rookie Team, [7] and College Soccer News' National All-Freshman Second Team. At the end of the season, Guerrero was called into the United States Under-20 National Team camp to play Honduras. [8]

During the 2008 season, Guerrero was named as an All-WCC Honorable Mention [9] after leading the WCC League in saves (91) and making 7 saves in a match on 5 separate occasions.

During the 2009 season, Guerrero was named the Smith Barney Classic Defensive Player of the Tournament after leading Portland to winning the tournament. He was also named to the Soccer America National Team of the Week and WCC League Player of the Week honors on September 28 [10] after leading Portland to the Husky Fever Classic Tournament Championship. Guerrero ultimately ranked second in the WCC league in goals against average (0.95), save percentage (.784), and saves (80), while ranking third in shutouts (5). He led Portland to the NCAA playoff quarterfinals to end the season. [11] At the end of the season, he was named to the All-WCC First Team [12] and a Top Drawer Soccer's Honorable Mention [13] for his performance on the season.

UANL Tigres

Guerrero was signed by Liga MX side Tigres UANL after his time in the United States. Despite not getting as many first team matches as he would have preferred, he took this period to refine his skills in an elite professional setting and attributed his exceptional distribution to this developmental period in Mexico.

Altamira

Guerrero joined Altamira FC on loan from Tigres in 2013 in order to get more competitive playing time, [20] and appeared in 32 Ascenso MX and Copa MX matches for the club. He led the club into the Liguilla Playoffs, but they were eventually eliminated.
