MCC Soccer Continues Busy Home Slate



From School Reports

The 2015 Meridian Community College soccer season is in full gear and the Eagles are currently enjoying one of its biggest home stands in recent memory. MCC is in preparation to host non-conference foe, Hinds Community College, on Tuesday night at C.D. Smith Field. The doubleheader against Hinds will also mark the fourth straight home doubleheader for the program. MCC is currently in the middle of a six-game home stand that will also include matches with Jones County Junior College (October 6) and Pearl River Community College (October 9).  

The MCC women are currently on a role in 2015 and are right in the middle of a tight race in the MACJC South standings. The Lady Eagles have won five straight matches and most recently stepped out of division play to take a 3-2 overtime victory back on Friday afternoon against Holmes Community College. Freshman Effie Morrison scored the go-ahead goal in the extra session to pace the Lady Eagles to the dramatic victory. Morrison has had a marvelous 2015 campaign by leading the team in goals with 14 which ranks her in the top ten among all junior college players in the country. Morrison was also recently named the MACJC Player of the Week after scoring six goals in one week for the Lady Eagles.  

The MCC women are currently 6-3-1 overall for the season and will look to continue its winning ways on Tuesday night at  5 p.m. against Hinds. The MCC men will also be in action on Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

The night of soccer at Meridian Community College will also be highlighted by a special event for local high school seniors in the area. The Phil Hardin Foundation Honors College and the MCC Recruiters will co-host a tailgate party, Senior Night, as well on Tuesday night. High school seniors, parents, and families are welcome to attend the tailgate event on Tuesday night as a part of the soccer doubleheader against Hinds. There will be free food, pom poms, music, tailgating games, and more. The event will give participants an opportunity to learn about ACT scholarships, honors college, and many other opportunities that MCC has to offer.
