KCKCC schedules soccer doubleheader today

by Alan Hoskins, KCKCC

Kansas City Kansas Community College’s long-awaited home Region VI soccer opener comes Thursday when the Blue Devils play host to Cowley College in a doubleheader.

The Blue Devil women and Cowley will collide at 5 p.m. with the men’s team clashing under the lights at 7 p.m.

The Lady Blue Devils are coming off a narrow 3-2 setback at Johnson County Tuesday. Trailing 2-0 at halftime, KCKCC cut the deficit in half on a Bailey Zinser goal. JCCC then rebuilt its lead to 3-1 and then held on despite a Hanna Bishop goal.

“We had our opportunities but just couldn’t cash in after coming back from a 2-0 deficit,” said KCKCC coach Shawn Uhlenhake.

JCCC also took the men’s game 6-2. Hiago Gaspar and Pa Ousman Jobe had the Blue Devil goals.
