MEN’S SOCCER HAS UP AND DOWN WEEK! 
November 4, 2008
 
The Bulldogs (12-2-2) had an emotional first game of the week October 29th with a come-from-behind victory against Highline CC (12-1-3) 3-2 to take over first place in the West Division, but then lost that division lead when the Bulldogs traveled to Bellingham on November 1st and came up short 1-0 against Whatcom CC (9-3-4).

Both games were hard-fought physical battles that saw the Bulldogs  feeling high and low by week’s end. Against Highline, the Bulldogs jumped out early scoring on Matt Eronemo’s goal in the second minute then found themselves down 2-1 with just eight minutes to go. BCC’s Diego Robayo scored in the 82nd minute, and was then followed by Vini Oliveira’s goal in the 86th minute to finish off with a 3-2 victory.

The Whatcom game saw the Orcas score in the 13th minute and then play stingy defense to keep the Bulldogs out of the net the entire game, finally handing the Bulldogs a heartbreaking 1-0 loss.

This week the Bulldogs travel to Edmonds to take on the Edmonds Tritons (6-9-1) November 5th at 7:30pm. For the regular season ending match, BCC hosts the Shoreline Dolphins (6-6-4) this Saturday November 8th at the BCC Soccer Field at 2:00pm.

The Bulldogs (11-1-2) had a tough time in Port Angeles on October 22nd with the Peninsula Pirates (8-3-3) as they were handed their first loss of the season 2-1. The Bulldogs got their only goal in the 32nd minute of the first half to tie the score at one from Hailu Gebrekidan and was assisted from Vini Oliveira (21 goals and 5 assists on the season, and is the leading scorer in all of the NWAACC). The Pirates then got a second goal in the 60th minute and held on the final 30 minutes to put the Bulldogs in the loss column for the first time this season.

This week the Bulldogs have a tough test as they will be taking on the first place team from the West Division. The Bulldogs will host Highline (12-0-3) this Wednesday October 29th at the BCC Soccer Field at 4:00pm.

October 21, 2008        

The Bulldogs had a tough time in their win over the Everett Trojans (3-9-2) October 18th as the Trojans used a tough defense to keep the Bulldogs in check. It wasn’t until the 55th minute that Josh Guerrero was able to put one in the back of the net to give the Bulldogs the one and only goal of the game. Kevin Springer recorded BCC’s fifth shutout of the season, keeping us unbeaten (11-0-2) and locked in a first place tie with Highline CC in the West Division.
