Cougars Men's Soccer Dominate HACC Hawks 11-2

In a wet Sunday afternoon matinee, the Frederick Community College Cougars men's soccer, steamrolled the Harrisburg Area Community College Hawks with a decisive 11-2 victory. It was a game where every Cougar who put on the kit made their mark on the pitch.

A remarkable eight different Cougars found the back of the net, with freshman forward Fabian Alcarraz Espinoza recorded a hat-trick, while Joshua Umanzor scored back-to-back goals ten minutes apart, propelling the team to their second win of the season. Team captain Joel Jamieson showcased his leadership by tying a career-high in points in a game, contributing six points with four assists and a goal, all while taking just one shot attempt during his 55 minutes of play. Freshman Iker Alvarenga continued to impress with his second five-point performance of the season, combining three assists with a goal in his 46 minutes on the field. Another team Captain, Roger Diaz Beatriz, also had a standout performance, serving up two crucial assists in his 55 minutes of play.
