The Shoreline Community College Soccer teams open home play and region counting games on Saturday at Dolphin Field on the SCC Campus.

In NWAACC Soccer, each of the four regions plays mandatory matches against a second region that count in their region standings. This year, the NWAACC Northern Region plays the Southern Region, so games on Saturday are against NWAACC Southern Region teams and count in the Northern Region standings to which SCC is a member.

The Lady Dolphins are 1-1 on the season, after dropping a 2-1 match to Columbia Basin College last week at the NWAACC Friendlies Tournament but defeating Tacoma CC 5-0 at the same event at the Starfire Complex in Tukwila, WA. 

The women’s team will face Clackamas CC from Oregon on Saturday at Noon. Clackamas comes into the game with a 1-1 record as well. The Dolphins are led by freshman Kayla Browne with 3 goals in two games (Kayla is the sister of SCC’s Head Baseball Coach, Ryan Browne) and sophomore Sara Gilmore with 2 goals.

On the men’s side, the 0-2 SCC Men’s Squad hopes to turn things around, as they fell hard at the NWAACC Friendlies tournament, dropping a 7-0 match to the CCs of Spokane and 6-0 to Tacoma CC. 

The Dolphins have added 3 players to roster over the past week and hope the added depth will help on the offensive end of the field, as Shoreline spent very little time at that end of the field last week. 

SCC plays Pierce College on Saturday at 2:15pm. Pierce is currently 2-1 on the early season and has scored 8 goals, but also has given up 6 goals.

The games will be broadcast live on the SCC Online Channel and you can follow scores on the SCC Athletic Twitter Account and the SCC Facebook Page.
