Men’s soccer keeps all points to themselves.

On Friday, the Corsairs men’s soccer team played the Chaffey College Panthers at Corsair Field. The Corsairs shut out the Panthers with a decisive 6-0 victory.

The game began with a solid push from the Panthers, but the Corsairs soon overwhelmed them, never allowing them to gain a foothold on the Corsair side of the field.

Notable were midfielder Roey Kivity, who scored two goals, and forward Philip Hephzibah, who assisted in two goals and scored a goal of his own in the final minute of the first half, giving them a 4-0 advantage going into the intermission.  Forwards Jose Urdiano, Alex Hernandez and Milton De Oliveira joined in on the score fest, with De Oliveira scoring the sixth and final goal for the Corsairs in the last minute of the game, sending the Panthers home with nothing.
