ELYRIA, Ohio - It was a coming out party for the Jamestown Community College men's soccer team, routing Lorain County Community College by the score of 8-2 Monday afternoon.

 

The Jayhawks (3-5, 0-2 WNYAC) started out quickly with freshman midfielder Louis Hurst (Blackpool, England/Cardinal Newman College) finding the the back of the net off the feed from freshman midfielder Mario Alberto Campo (Bogota, Columbia/Gimnasio de los Cerros) just five minutes into the contest.

 

Hurst scored the second of his three goals in the 18th minute of action with freshman defender Owain Jones (Cardiff, Wales/Coleg Y Cymoedd) getting the assist. JCC pushed their lead to three in the 28th minute with sophomore forward Jesse da Costa (Perth, Western Australia/SEDA) setting up freshman forward Josh Heim (Westfield, NY/Westfield Academy) for his first of three goals on the afternoon.

 

To close out the first half of action, Heim answered the call again with a goal in the 36th minute with freshman midfielder Connor Lewis (Surrey, England/Farnborough Academy) coming away with the assist.

 

The Jayhawks kept the pressure on the Commodores as Hurst added another goal to his total in the 54th minute off the setup from da Costa and freshman midfielder Tshepiso Ntuli (Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa/Pretoria Boys HS).

 

After a 20-minute stalemate in the game, sophomore forward Ryan Koch (Auckland, New Zealand/Long Bay College) got the energy flowing again with a goal in the 73rd minute off the feed from freshman midfielder Javier Garcia (Pamplona,Navarra, Spain/San Cernin).

 

In the 77th minute, Koch facilitated the offense this time, setting up Heim for his third goal of the contest. LCCC did halt the seven-goal run, scoring a pair to cut the deficit to 7-2.

 

Freshman midfielder Jesse Plaatjes (Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa/Northwood) put the cherry on top for the Jayhawks, scoring in the 86th as freshman forwards Caleb Foley (Jamestown, NY/Maple Grove HS) and Kayque Rodrigues (Sao Paulo, Brazil/E.E. Miguel Munhoz Filho).

 

Freshman goalkeeper Bryan Anderson (Ashville, NY/Chautauqua Lake Central) earned the win in net in 62 minutes of action. Freshman goalkeeper Ben Livingston went the rest of the way in relief.

 

The Jayhawks will be back in action this Saturday, October 2nd, as they travel to Fulton-Montgomery Community College for a 4 p.m. start.
