SANTA MARIA, Calif. - The Allan Hancock College men's soccer program dropped a home contest against West Hills Lemoore on Friday afternoon in a 2-1 decision.
The Bulldogs (0-2-1) struggled to find their groove in the opening half after surrendering one goal in the 19th minute of action and only recording three shot attempts in the first frame. The Golden Eagles (2-1) doubled their lead with a late goal in the second half before AHC could respond. Hancock scored in the 85th minute after Sean Soltan completed a pass to Juan Montelongo, who sent a shot into the back of the net for his first goal of the season. Arath Acosta was charged with the loss in the box after recording one save and allowing one goal through 45 minutes of action.
