(Valhalla, NY) - Franco Ladron De Guevarra (White Plains, NY/White Plains HS) scored two goals, and Wali Azizi (Buchanan, NY/Hendrick Hudson HS) had a career-high four points as the Westchester Community College Men's Soccer team improved to 5-1 with an 8-1 win over Kingsborough Community College on Tuesday at Barrett Field. With the win, the Vikings improve to 3-1 in Region XV play.

Despite playing at the tail end of a day's worth of torrential downpours that rendered the playing surface swamp-like, Westchester Community College found a way to play fast, and score often as the Vikings found the back of the net four times during each half. Luis Galeano (Mamaroneck, NY/Rye Neck HS) opened the scoring at 1:20, scoring his fifth consecutive goal for the Vikings off of assists from Azizi and Jose Tovar (Yonkers, NY/Riverside HS) to make it 1-0.

11 minutes later, Ladron De Guevarra scored for the first time, a transition goal off of a beautiful assist from Azizi to make it 2-0. Seven minutes after that, William Morais (White Plains, NY/White Plains HS) scored his first career goal, a corner kick tally off of a feed from Tovar to make it 3-0. After that, play was relegated to the midfield for quite some time, until at 30:24, Mathew Rios (Yorktown, NY/Yorktown HS) fired a shot on net that was deflected into the goal by a Kingsborough defender to make it 4-0. The Wave scored their only goal of the game at 34:51 to make it 4-1 at halftime.

The second half featured much of the same as Westchester controlled possession for almost the entirety of the final 45 minutes. Ladron De Guevarra scored his second of the game at 51:10 off of an Anthony Aguirre (Sleepy Hollow, NY/Sleepy Hollow HS) assist to make it 5-1. At 68:11, Azizi scored his second goal of the season to increase the lead to 6-1, on a goal assisted by Bryan Terrones (New Rochelle, NY/New Rochelle HS). The scoring was rounded out by Shane Smith (Mount Vernon, NY/Altoona HS) at 71:18 and Lucas Rodrigues (White Plains, NY/White Plains HS) at 76:11.

The high-scoring affair made for an easy day for Vikings goalies Guilherme Griza (Novo Hamburgo-RS (Brazil)/Colegio Marista Pio XII) and Jair Mejia (Yonkers, NY/Riverside HS). Griza stopped all three shots he faced during the first 29:25, while Mejia saved two of the three shots he faced in relief.

Overall, Westchester out-shot Kingsborough 36-15, and took 10 corner kicks to the Wave's four.

Westchester CC returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 22 when the Vikings host Nassau Community College for a 1:00 p.m. Region XV game. The game will be Westchester Community College's 2018 Homecoming.
