A 5-0 win against Cowley College wrapped up Allen Community College’s regular season. Now, the team will prepare for a home playoff game Saturday.
“It was an awesome game,” Jeremy McGinnis, head coach, said. “We were able to recognize all the sophomores and they played the majority of the game.”
When the sophomore class came to ACC last season, they came knowing that the team needed help. Two years ago, the team had two wins and three goals. Since this class has come through, they’ve improved each season.
“I told them, ‘We’re going to change it, but I need players like you,’” McGinnis said. “They came, and look at us now.”
Last year, the Red Devils improved to 9-9. That was the best record the program has had and earned the team a playoff berth for the first time in eight seasons.
They improved to 13-3-2 this year. The team was also ranked in the top-18 at one time this season.
“I asked for nothing but the best from these girls and that’s what they gave me, nothing but their best,” McGinnis said. “It was just nice to honor them and give them all playing time.”
Allen hosts Barton at 3 p.m. Saturday in the first round of the playoffs.
