MCC Soccer looks for season sweep of East Central

(MERIDIAN)- After taking a break from MACJC South Division play this past weekend by hosting the Rush Invitational, the Meridian Community College soccer teams are ready to resume their division schedule with a home contest with local-rival East Central Community College on Wednesday night.

The Lady Eagles will enter the game at 9-1-1 overall and have a MACJC South Division best 7-1 record.

“The women played great this past weekend in the Rush Invitational,” said Coach Alex George.

“We had a clean sweep winning both ballgames and everyone remained healthy.”

After splitting a pair of games in the Rush Invitational, the MCC men’s squad boasts an overall record of 8-2-1 with a 6-1-1 division record.

“We’re still in great shape to make a run at the playoffs with the men,” said George.

“We’re just ready to get back into division play.”

Meridian swept ECCC in Decatur back on September 1. The Lady Eagles won 2-1, while the Eagles defeated the Warriors soundly, 8-1.

The women begin play at 5:00 PM then the men take to the field at 7:15.
