The Shoreline Community College Men’s Soccer Team dropped a 4-0 game to the Seattle Sounders FC 18 and Under squad on Saturday at the Starfire Complex in Tukwila, WA. The SCC squad is now 0-3 at Starfire so far this year, dropping two matches at the complex during the NWAACC “Friendlies” tournament last week. SCC is now 0-5 on the season.

The Dolphins will face Olympic College on Wednesday at Dolphin Field on the SCC campus at 4:15 PM. This is the first counting game in the NWAACC Northern Region for SCC, as SCC starts mandatory crossover play with the NWAACC Western Division. Mandatory crossover games count in each regions’ standings.

Olympic is 1-0-1 on the season, defeating the Community College of Spokane and tying Wenatchee Valley Community College at the “Friendlies” tournament. SCC has struggled on both sides of the ball so far, allowing 15 goals in 5 games, and only scoring 2. But SCC started out last season 0-7-2 and won 8 straight games during the second half of the year to capture the Northern Region and go to the NWAACC Final Four.

Admission to Wednesday’s match is $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for non-SCC students, seniors and active military. SCC students with ID are free to attend.
