Mighty Lizards Emerge Victorious Over Colorado Northwestern

Box Score Reno, NV - Truckee Meadows Community College Men's Soccer notched their first home win of the season on Saturday, emerging victorious over Colorado Northwestern Community College by a score of 3-1.

The first 45 minutes saw plenty of back and forth action, however neither team was able to convert any shots on goal into points on the scoreboard. The Mighty Lizards saw shots on goal come from Brandon Escobedo and Angel Nava among others, yet nothing was able to beat CNCC goalkeeper Ale Jimenez in the first half. Colorado Northwestern got hit with a yellow card with just a minute to go before halftime which began the slow turning of tide in TMCC's advantage.

The Mighty Lizards got the ball rolling in the second half with a goal by Escobedo in the 47th minute off an assist by Mario Alarcon. Colorado Northwestern responded just five minutes later when a shot by Spartan Dillon Bingham beat Mighty Lizard goalkeeper Jacob Rivera Gomez. TMCC was quick to respond, as Escobedo found the back of the net less than a minute later. Federico Bernabe was credited with the assist. A third TMCC goal came at the 56th minute mark, this time off the boot of Fernando Robles on a Marco Monreal assist. As for Robles, his sixth goal of the season broke the old school record for goals/season, which stood at five and was held by Jose Martinez (2023) and Adolfo Sanchez (2021).

Mighty Lizard goalkeeper Jacob Rivera Gomez picked up the victory for TMCC with five saves on the day. Truckee Meadows & Colorado Northwestern both finished the match with seven fouls and two yellow cards apiece. On the attacking front, TMCC outshot CNCC 10-7.

The Mighty Lizards will be back in action next on Thursday, Sep. 26th at Snow College. Kickoff will commence at 2:30 p.m. and the match will be streamed live on the Scenic West Network.
