SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine – The Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) men's soccer took on York County Community College Friday afternoon at Wainwright in Yankee Small College Conference (YSCC) action. Taking the win to improve to 6-1 in league play and 8-2-1 overall.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

SMCC opened the scoring early when senior forward Louis Sehr (Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire) buried a setup from first-year midfielder Mohamedi Ngido (Waldoboro, Maine) in the 5th minute to make it 1-0.

It remained a one-goal game until just after halftime, when Ibrahim Alzirkani (Portland, Maine) doubled the lead with an unassisted finish in the 50th minute — his third of the season.

First-year forward Luke Gorczok (Orrington, Maine) closed the match with a second-half brace. He struck first in the 70th minute on an assist from Felisberto Mamuisi (Portland, Maine), then again seven minutes later with an unassisted finish to put the match out of reach.
