JCC Opens Region 3 Playoffs Flying by FMCC; Advance to Semis

FALCONER, NY - It was a beautiful afternoon for the beautiful game, and Jamestown Community College's (JCC) men's soccer played it beautifully in their 5-1 win over Fulton-Montgomery Community College (FMCC) in the Region 3 Subregionals.

JCC owned the early going, with possession taking place in front of the FMCC goalie for most of the first 20 minutes, but the Jayhawks weren't able to find the back of the net until the 24th minute.

Sophomore David Luque opened the scoring off of a pretty tic-tac-toe set up from Blessings Murombo to Gauthier Acloque, and Luque sprinted to a one-on-one against the goalie, and he didn't miss to make it 1-0 Jamestown.

The one-goal advantage held through halftime before Dominique Malhomme finished a set in the box in the 60th minute for a 2-0 Jayhawks' lead.

Less than three minutes later, Luque found himself clear of the Raiders defense, and the goalie had no chance here either; David's second of the day made it 3-0 JCC.

The only blemish on the Jayhawks came in the 65th minute, when a penalty gave FMCC a penalty kick. Cian Galvin guessed low, and the kick went high for a 3-1 game. Galvin was perfect on the rest of the day, stopping the other eight shots he faced.

JCC poured it on late, with goals by Braidan Govan in the 87th minute and another from Luque in the 89th making it the 5-1 final.

The win moves JCC on to the regional semifinals for the sixth straight year, where they will visit #1 seeded Cayuga Community College on Wednesday.
