WINFIELD — Allen Community College’s soccer team got its season off on the right foot Saturday, with a 3-0 romp over Southwestern College’s junior varsity squad.

The Red Devils dominated possession throughout the game, head coach Doug Desmarteau said, which led to several scoring chances.

Joe Gartner popped the seal in the 17th minute with a follow shot after a corner kick. Olomidara Olukayode was credited with the assist.

Then, after coming up empty on several other scoring chances through the first half, Allen hit the back of the net once again at the 61-minute mark when Jordan Mase blasted a shot from outside the box for the 2-0 lead.

A brilliant corner kick from Martin Rodriguez in the 85th minute led to Payge Sinclair’s header for the final tally.

Red Devil goalkeeper Ajay Murry recorded three saves to preserve the shutout.

Allen was in Bartlesville, Okla., Monday to take on Oklahoma Wesleyan’s junior varsity.

Results were unavailable at press time.
