FRESNO — After scoring 13 goals in two wins last week, SBCC was shut out 4-0 by Fresno City in a non-conference men’s soccer game on Tuesday. The Rams, ranked No. 8 in California, improved to 5-1-3 while the Vaqueros fell to 4-2.
Fresno took a 3-0 lead with two late goals in the first half on a warm day with the temperature in triple digits. SBCC’s Mark Knight missed a penalty kick with his team trailing 1-0 in the 27th minute. Earlier in the day, the Vaqueros moved into the 10th spot nationally in the NCSAA/adidas poll.
“We had opportunities but I was very disappointed with the attitude of our players,” said Vaquero coach John Sisterson. “They thought they could just come up here and get a win. It’s a long way to come and then have the players not perform.”
SBCC returns home on Friday to take on Rio Hondo at 7:30 p.m.
