Ames, IA—Sophomore Juan Carrillo (Cordoba, Spain/CES Lope de Vega) and freshman David Gomez (Marshalltown, IA/Marshalltown) each netted a pair of goals for the Marshalltown Community College men's soccer team Tuesday evening as the Tigers dropped the Iowa State University Club team. The Tigers have now won five games in a row to improve to 8-4-0.
MCC, playing in its final nonconference match of the season, cruised to its fourth straight win with at least four goals. During their five-game winning streak, the Tigers have outscored their opponents 19-4 with three shutouts.
Carrilllo scored the opening goal in the 12th minute as the sophomore teamed up with Jose Cordova (Marshalltown, IA/Marshalltown) for the initial lead.

Carlos Smith (Des Moines, IA/East) provided an insurance goal in the 78th minute on an assist from Gomez to put MCC up 4-1.
Gomez recorded his first-career multi-goal game in the 85th minute with the game's final goal on a shot from close range. The freshman's five-point game is a career-high and has now tallied eight points in the team's last two games.
