The Mighty Oaks Victorious in Season Opener

Pitman, NJ. – The Salem Community College Men's Soccer team opened their season with a victory as the Mighty Oaks defeated Middlesex College 2-1 in Garden State Athletic Conference play. 

Pedro Maia and Juan Cruz tallied goals for SCC, while Marcos Piao and Vasco Almeida each recorded assists to propel the home team to a win.

"I'm very happy and proud to see all of our training paying off," said SCC Head Coach Matt Murray.

The Salem defense came up strong, not allowing a goal through the first half.  SCC held the Colts off the scoreboard until a penalty kick with just thirty-four seconds left in regulation.

"This was a huge win for our program," said Murray. "It's a long season and I expect big things for our program."

The Mighty Oaks are back in action Saturday September 11, 2021 at 1:00PM when they travel to face the Bulldogs of Bergen County College.
