Not only was it hot outside but the heat of competition was high at the men’s soccer game last Tuesday.  On Oct. 8 , Bakersfield College’s Renegade men’s soccer team played against the Allan Hancock College Bulldogs and won 4-0.

Throughout the game, both BC and the Alan Hancock Bulldogs teams motivated each other’s teammates and that led to intense play from both offense and defense. Players Joshua Bryant (11), Jorge Magana (20), and Anthony Gambe (34) were fast to block and sneak plays on the opposing team. With heavy defense from the BC Renegades, Allan Hancock’s Bulldogs had a tough time scoring a goal through the entire game.

Within the first half of the game, Bryant (11) scored the first two goals set the winning spirit BC needed to secure the win with the help from players Christopher Gandara (10) and Jonathan Juarez (5).  Players Oscar Villagrana (2), Eric Garay (13) and Anthony Contreras (28) had everyone on the fence when playing offense and used heavy kicking and blocking against the Bulldogs.

The Bulldog’s had a few of their players make it a bit difficult for BC to keep up their rhythm in the middle of the first half of the game but then gain back momentum in the second half of the game. At the 90 minute mark of the game, player Jaziel Andrade (16) the final score of the game with the help from Jose Acala (32).

Members from the audience often exclaimed that both teams played very well and were “at each other’s necks”. Both teams made it known that winning this game will tell how the rest the of the season will go, and BC secured that win with no problem.

If you want to support BC’s men’s soccer team win another game, their next game will be on Oct. 18 at Citrus College in Glendora.
