MCC Soccer Preps for final home game

Following a road contest with MACJC South Division foe- Mississippi Gulf Coast on Saturday in Perkinston, the Meridian Community College soccer teams are now focusing their attention to their final regular season contest versus division opponent, Copiah-Lincoln Community College on Wednesday night in Meridian.

With a win Wednesday on “Sophomore Night” versus Co-Lin, the Lady Ealges will make it official for the first time in the program's history, to not only make the playoffs but win the MACJC South Division Championship.

“We aren't looking over anyone,” said Head Coach Alex George.

“This team has everything it takes right now to win a championship. Most important, they show up and play for one another. That's what so special. No individuals on this team.”

The Lady Eagles are 12-1-2 overall and 9-1-1 in conference play.

The Eagles are currently sitting in second place after a tough overtime defeat at Gulf Coast Saturday.

The Eagles came out hard the first half and posted a 3-1 lead at halftime, but lost 5-4.

"All we had to do was keep our foot on the gas and not let them back in the game,” said George.

“This has been our predicament too many times this year and the results are the same. I tell them all the time that you have to be strong mentally and physically and pull together in times like these. I am hopeful that somebody will step up for us and creative a spark,” said George.

The Eagles are 10-4-1 overall and 8-2-1 in conference play.

MCC swept Co-Lin on September 19th in Wesson, MS. The Lady Eagles won 3-1, while the Eagles won 3-2.

On Wednesday night the Lady Eagles take to the field at 5 pm, while the men play at 7:15 pm.
