SGC Soccer Wins at Gordon

Last Friday, Sept. 3, the men’s and women’s soccer teams traveled to Gordon College and both came away with wins.

The men’s earned their first win of the season with a 4-1 victory over Gordon. “It feels good to finally get our first win under our belt,” noted Coach Ken Kirsch. “We did some really good things against Gordon.” Felipe Nascimento lead the way notching two goals while the defensive unit almost earned the shutout if not for a late goal by Gordon. Joe Alexander scored his second goal of the season and Gerald Jonah finished the scoring. Jeff Dumond tallied six saves in the win.

The women won by a score of 4-0 in opening conference play. Jody Bethune scored two more goals and now has four in two games. The Lady Tigers recorded another shutout with Ashley Kramer having three saves in the contest. “We are a much more competitive team this season. The ladies are working hard in practice and in games,” said Coach Kirsch. Kasie Cheney and Monique Hollins each scored their first collegiate goals and Marcillee McBean had two assists.

Both teams are in action today against Darton College on the SGC soccer pitch. The women begin at noon, and the men’s game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
