For the past eight games, the GCC Men's Soccer teams have been searching for the formula that saw them start the 2023 season with five straight wins and a high state ranking. Against visiting Antelope Valley College on Friday Oct. 13, the Vaqs were trailing 2-0 after the first half but during a hectic nine-minute span at the beginning of the second half, Glendale scored three goals before the visitors got one late for a 3-3 tie and seemed to find a little of what had been missing.
Now 5-7-2 overall and 0-1-1 in WSC play, J.P. Crispi scored for GCC at the 60:11 mark on an assist by Malkoon Malkoon to make it 2-1 and then Monte Almasi scored less than two minutes later on a pass by Derik Stepanians to make it 2-2 at the 61:59 mark. Stepanians then gave GCC the lead at 68:37 on a pass by Vincente Sanches for his 10th goal of the year to make it 3-2 Vaqs until the late goal by the Marauders made the final score 3-3.
In WSC play this week, Glendale hosts L. A. Pierce College at 5:30 pm Tuesday Oct. 17 and Bakersfield College at 4 pm Friday Oct. 20 with both games at Sartoris Field.
