SANTA BARBARA, CA – The SBCC men's soccer team started the month of November off with a win on Tuesday in an early afternoon match with Moorpark, putting up six goals for the third time this year and putting 22 different players out on the pitch in a 6-0 rout.

"Comfortable win at home for the guys and great to get so many players on the field today with most of our subs being used," assistant coach Matt Wilkinson said. "Shoutout for a great game by Ivan Virgen, fantastic game for him with his first start of the year. And Josh Guevara Tahuite, local Santa Barbara guy, played a fantastic game and he gives us so much energy in the midfield. Exciting young talent playing in his hometown."

Sasha Halabi got the scoring started in the first half off an assist by Timo Jansen. Virgen would assist a Lukas Lovgren goal to make it 2-0.
