Seven Goals by Seven Different Raptors in Men's Soccer Victory Over Hagerstown CC

Montgomery College men's soccer team's depth was on display Tuesday night as seven different Raptors scored in the team's 7-0 conference victory over Hagerstown CC Hawks. Brayan Murillo opened up the scoring with an excellent feed from Anthony Jimenez through the Hawk's defense to put MC on the board in the 20th minute. Andres Javitt would clean up a loose ball in the Hawks' box in the 43rd minute to give his team a 2-0 lead going into halftime.  

The Raptors didn't waste any time in the second half, picking up where they left off before the break. Raptors Keino Thompson would bury a rebound off a corner kick in the 51st minute to open up the scoring for the second half. Deric Pocasangre found Marco Rocafuerte after a scramble in the box, and Rocafuerte would blast it past the defender and goalkeeper for another goal in the 53rd minute. Mussie Yohannes had the goal of the night, set up by a takeaway from Keino Thompson.  Yohannes bombed a 35-yard shot that was out of the reach of the goalkeeper to find the back of the net. Nathanael Garbo would capitalize on a bad clear by the Hagerstown defense in the 78th minute, and Khalb Mesfin would rip a shot from 20 yards out that would hit the bottom of the crossbar and crossed the goal line in the final minute of the match.
