April 12 St. Louis Community College at Sedalia

"St. Louis is a talented team," said SFCC Soccer Head Coach Jaime Beltran. "On that day…we were able to take care of business. They had some chances on goal, but we made stops. Our goalkeeper did a good job, and he earned the shutout. St. Louis took Tebello Ntene down on one of our breakaway opportunities. He took the penalty kick for us and put it away."

Ntene had five shots, three of which were on goal. Breno Prado made five saves to earn the shutout in goal.

April 14 Metropolitan Community College at Sedalia

SFCC (2-1-1) and Metropolitan Community College battled to a 0-0 tie at the end of two overtimes on Wednesday, April 14 at the Fred E. Davis Sports Complex in Sedalia.

"I thought we were able to possess the ball well in the midfield and in the back line," said Beltran. "We were able to move the ball around. Obviously, we didn't finish our chances. We hit the crossbar twice and the post once. The goalkeeper from MCC made a couple of good saves and had a good game. Sometimes the ball just doesn't go in."

As a team, SFCC had 24 shots, 15 of them were on goal. John Mlondani recorded four shots. Ntene also had four shots. Prado recorded three saves in the game.
