The East Central Community College Warrior soccer team fell to the Itawamba Indians, 7-0, on Tuesday afternoon in a rainy non-conference matchup. The loss drops the Warriors to 0-1 on the year, while the Indians improve to 1-0. 

ICC scored early and often in the opening minutes to jump out to a 3-0 advantage in the first 20 minutes of play. That lead stretched to 5-0 in the final minutes of the first half. 

The Warriors had some strong attacks in the second half and had some scoring opportunities, but failed to find the back of the net. The Indians knocked in two more goals, one on a header and the other on a chip shot over the keeper's hands. 

Two Ahead

The Warriors will be on the road on Friday, August 26 as the team travels to Columbus to take on the Mississippi University for Women. Kickoff has been moved to 12 p.m. from the original 3 p.m. start time. 

ECCC will be back at home on Saturday, September 3 as the Warriors play host to Andrew College at 4 p.m.
