Men's Soccer falls to SWIC

The Men's Soccer team remained winless on the year as they fell to Southwestern Illinois College 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon. PC scored first when Gregg Flores connected on a goal on an assist from Victor Martinez at the eight minute mark. The lead would be short lived as SWIC 's Matt Bearley hit the back of the net just four minutes later. SWIC would take the lead for good on a Tim Hankins goal at the 19th minute mark. The Blue Storm would control the remainder of the half but could not increase their lead.

The second half was a completely different story as the Cobras controlled the ball and out shot SWIC but could not net the tying goal. PC had several chances that sailed just over or just wide of the goals including a header in the final minute of play. The loss drops PC to (0-2) ahead of a 3:00 game Saturday at home against the Greenville College JV. SWIC improves to (2-0) with the victory.

Soccer Drops Opener


The Men's Soccer team could not hang on to an early lead and lost to Jefferson College MO 5-3 in the season opener for both teams. After falling behind 1-0 early, PC answered right back as Khody Ellis scored on an assist from Andrew Reutiman. The Cobras would score again as Ellis assisted Douglas deAndrade for a goal at the 35 minute mark to take a 2-1 lead only to see Christos Balafoutis score an unassisted goal just before half to tie the match.

PC seemed to take control early in the second half as Ellis and deAndrade teamed up again for Ellis's second goal of the match. Unfortunately, PC would not score again and the Vikings would score 3 unanswered goals to earn the win. PC will try to pick up their first win of the season as they host Southwestern Illinois College (1-0) at 4:00 on Tuesday. The Blue Storm opened their season with a 2-0 win over St. Louis Flo. Valley on Saturday.
