Bettendorf, IA—A second consecutive grueling road trip proved to be no trouble at all for the Marshalltown Community College men's soccer team as the Tigers dropped Scott Community College 4-0 in Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) play on Saturday. Juan Carrillo (Cordoba, Spain/CES Lope de Vega) tallied five points on the afternoon.

Coming off of a hard-fought 1-0 overtime victory at Iowa Lakes Community College on Tuesday, the Tigers (5-4-0, 3-2-0) jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the Eagles (0-7-0, 0-4-0) in the first 25 minutes of action as Carrillo netted the opener and Celes Vilar (Las Palmas, Spain/San Antonio Maria Claret) doubled the lead moments later. The Tigers extended their lead in the second half as Noe Gomez (Bloomington, MN/John F. Kennedy) recorded his first-career goal. Carrillo capped off the scoring with a goal in the 89^th minute.

The Tiger offense produced a season-high 29 shots, including 13 on net.  MCC also earned 11 corner kicks on the afternoon, all coming in the first half.

Kwan Tolbert (Conway, AR/Conway) was not tested in 80 minutes of action, but earned the win in net. Julian Pena (Muscatine, IA/Muscatine) finished off the match to combine for the Tigers' second straight shutout.

MCC opened up the scoring in the 20^th minute as Carrillo corralled a long pass from sophomore defender Jordan Gilmore (Portadown, UK/Craigavon). Carrillo was able to beat the Scott goalie one-on-one to put the Tigers on the board. Five minutes later, Carrillo played a through ball to the middle of the field, finding the foot of Vilar who buried a shot to double the lead.

The score remained 2-0 to open the second half until Gomez was awarded a penalty kick in the 70^th minute. The sophomore defender converted the shot for the first points of his Tiger career. In the 89^th minute, Carrillo and Vilar switched roles as Vilar played a ball to Carrillo who fired from 10 yards out to complete the scoring.

The Tigers return home for a 4:00 PM matchup on Wednesday, Sept. 24 against ICCAC opponent North Iowa Area Community College.
