Pirates win, 3-1

Orange Coast College men’s soccer continues on the rise following

Tuesday’s 3-1 victory over visiting Santiago Canyon in Orange Empire

Conference play.

The Pirates, now 5-4-1 overall, improved to 2-0 in the OEC as they

stretched their unbeaten streak to five games.

Coast took an early 1-0 lead on a goal from Weston Langdon, who scored

in the seventh minute off an assist from Stanton Duke. Duke, near the

goal, headed a free kick from Mike Spahr and Langdon beat Santiago Canyon

keeper Robert Adams in a race to the ball to easily score from just a few

feet out.

In the 18th minute, Coast stretched the lead to 2-0 as Ryan Lancaster

slid to kick the ball in for a goal off a long throw-in from Chance

Daniel. Daniel scored the Bucs’ final goal in the 39th minute, taking a

pass from Dante Zena on a three-on-one breakaway and fired it past Adams

from about 15 yards out for his first goal of the season.

Joey Balbas finished with two saves in the OCC net.

Santiago Canyon fell to 1-7-1, 0-2.
