The #9 Yavapai College Men's Soccer team raised its record to 3-1 (2-1 ACCAC) after a convincing 6-0 decision over the visiting Geckos from Gateway Community College on a crisp April evening at Ken Lindley Field. Despite numerous chances in the first half, Yavapai was not able to capitalize until the 36^th minute when Freshman Dauda Woodruff was able to connect off of an Enrique Zamora assist and beat GCC goalkeeper Pedro Cruz with a creative turn and finish into the upper 90. The score would remain 1-0 through the first half despite a commanding 7-0 shots on goal and 8-0 corner kick advantage by the Roughriders. The second half saw more of the same for the Roughriders as they continued putting consistent pressure for the opening 15 minutes of the second half. Iann Topete opened the second half scoring with a Loic Baures assist off a corner in the 54^th, followed immediately by a Zamora goal fed by fellow Sophomore Tucker Fenton in the 55^th minute of play. The Roughriders once again found the back of the net as Ivan Harris solo effort in front goal in the 69^th was able to beat Gecko goalkeeper Adrian Bejar. Freshman Jakob Larson's diving header in the 71^st off of a Jonathan Mayen assist. Mayen added to his evening assist total as he fed a perfect through ball to Carlos Nunez which beat Bejar low to right. Hudson Bodily was credit with the solo shutout for the evening.
