Gulf Coast Community College swept a pair of matches from Meridian Community College Saturday in junior college soccer action.

The MCC women dropped a 3-1 decision to Gulf Coast, while the Bulldogs defeated the MCC men 2-1. It was the first loss in the South Division for the Eagles as both teams fell to 6-2 overall and 4-1 in the division.

“In every game, you have to come with all of your battle gear on, and we didn’t have all of ours on today,” MCC coach Alex George said. “This won’t hurt us in the points, but it should show us that we have to play at our best in every game. We are looking forward to our next game.”

Both MCC teams had defeated Gulf Coast at Perkinston earlier in the season.

Matthew Logue scored MCC’s only goal in the men’s game. Terra Moore was the lone scorer in the Lady Eagles’ game.

MCC will be back in action at home Wednesday when they take on Pearl River. The women’s game starts at 5 p.m. The Eagles will travel to ECCC for a pair of matches on Saturday.
