Eagles End First Round of IEAC Play With a Draw

The MSJC soccer team wrapped up their first round of Inland Empire Athletic Conference play last week by earning a draw at Victor Valley.

The Eagles started the week with a tough 1-0 loss to College of the Desert at HCN Bank Stadium on Tuesday. MSJC and the Roadrunners were locked in a scoreless battle for most of the evening until Desert finally scored the game's lone goal in the sixty-first minute. Briseida Medina played well in goal for the Eagles making five saves in her sixty-three minutes of action.

Friday MSJC traveled to Victor Valley where they earned a 2-2 draw against the Rams. Lorena Gonzalez put the Eagles ahead early in the contest as she scored an unassisted goal in the eighth minute. VVC tied the match before halftime. MSJC would once again forge ahead with a goal by Alondra Pozos in the fifty-sixth minute, but the Rams scored the equalizer just three minutes later. Neither team could find the net in the final thirty minutes. Kimberly Estrada played all ninety minutes in goal for the Eagles and made four saves.

The Eagles who are now 4-8-2 overall on the season and 1-3-1 in IEAC matches play just once this week when they host San Bernardino Valley on Friday. Friday's match at HCN Bank Stadium is set to kickoff at 4 pm.
