The Allen Community College men’s soccer team took down Southeast Community College at home on Sunday afternoon, 2-0.
The Red Devils (8-2-1; 2-1) got back on track with the victory following the team’s first loss of the season at Hesston on Sept. 24. Allen is also undefeated on their home turf this season at 5-0.
Shutting out teams is one of head coach Doug Desmarteau’s main goal this season in controlling both possession of the ball and chances at the goal.
It was a quiet first half for Allen considering the team footed 14 shots and seven shots on goal. The team couldn’t get any momentum to get on the board and headed to the locker room all knotted up at 0-0.
Red Devil Yuki Ikezaki found the back of the net eight minutes into the second half when he finished a Tavar Lawrence pass for the one goal advantage.
With 15 minutes remaining in the match, Boikaego Mbaakanyi footed an unassisted goal for the 2-0 advantage.
Ikezaki led the scoring attack for the Red Devils as he sent five shots and four shots on goal, followed by Romario Tomlinson’s three shots and two shots on goal. Gustavo Guarnieri, Methembe Mzizi and Lawrence also each totaled two shots on goal.
Allen managed to get off 17 shots on goal in the match for Southeast goalkeeper Luca Zucchetti to make 15 saves in net. Red Devil goalkeeper Samuel Montanez was only forced to make two saves with only a pair of Storm shots on goal in 90 minutes.
ACC will be back in action on Saturday when they host Central Community College-Columbus on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
