Allen Community College midfielder Dorian Fox’s goal from about 10 yards out gave the Red Devil soccer team an early lead Monday afternoon.
The Red Devil defense took it from there, limiting Dodge City Community College’s scoring opportunities throughout the rest of the 2-1 win.
The Fox goal, midway through the first half, came off an assist by Jhovanty Baltazar.
Baltazar’s pass led to a nifty bit of footwork by Fox, who got his defender turned around long enough to rifle a shot to the bottom right corner of the net, beyond the reach of the Conquistador goalkeeper.
An own goal later in the contest provided the final margin of the 2-1 win.
Jordan Drake made a number of critical saves in the contest — seven total — as goalkeeper.
The victory snaps a five-game losing streak for the Red Devils (5-9 overall and 3-6 in Jayhawk Conference action).
The Red Devil women, however, could not match their male counterparts.
A Dodge City goal in the 39th minute of the first half was the only tally of a 1-0 Conquistador victory.
Keelie Arbuckle played in goal for Allen and made eight other saves.
The soccer teams are in Tonkawa, Okla., to face Northern Oklahoma College today. The game is the final regular season contest of the year for the men. The women (1-14 overall; 1-8 in Jayhawk Conference) return home Thursday to host Garden City Community College to wrap up the regular season.
