GLENDALE — Waid Ibrahim lofted a 25-yard free kick into the top right corner in the 62nd minute on Friday afternoon, lifting SBCC to a 2-1 WSC men’s soccer victory over Glendale.
Mark Knight scored in the 22nd minute on an assist from Danny Molineaux for the visiting Vaqueros, giving them a 1-0 halftime lead. It was the third win in four games for Santa Barbara (8-4, 3-1).
Knight, last year’s state scoring leader with 28 goals and 61 points, recorded his 12th goal of the year and moved into second place among California scorers (12 goals, 5 assists, 29 points), two points behind Yuba’s Alejandro Alejo. Knight has four goals in the last three games.
“We controlled the game in the first half and we got the result we needed,” said SBCC coach John Sisterson.
Glendale fell to 5-6-2 and 2-2.
SBCC will complete its five-game road trip next week at Moorpark (Tuesday) and Canyons (Oct. 17).
