SANTA MARIA — SBCC fell behind 2-1 in the second half on Tuesday afternoon before Lee Jackson and Danny Molineaux found the net in a 3-2 come-from-behind men’s soccer victory at Hancock.
The first-place Vaqueros (6-5-2) posted their sixth straight win and completed the first round of WSC play with a 6-0-1 mark.
Memo Gonzalez scored in the 14th minute for the Vaqueros and that was the only score of the first half. Hancock scored twice in an eight-minute span of the second half and then the visitors missed a penalty kick in the 60th minute.
“A lot of teams would have hung their heads but we were determined,” said coach John Sisterson. “It was a difficult, small field to play on.”
Jackson evened the score in the 65th minue on an assist from Molineaux. In the 80th minute, Molineaux scored the game-winner on an assist by Ryan McGavigan. It was the fourth goal in the last two games for Molineaux, who was named Athlete of the Week on Monday by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table.
SBCC returns home Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. game with L.A. Mission.
