Glendora, CA (Men's Soccer) -- Freshman middle fielder Alex Tuc celebrated his birthday in style by scoring his fourth goal of the season helping the Fighting Owls cruise to a 4-1 victory over a visiting Moorpark College on Tuesday afternoon. Three of Citrus' four goals came off corner kicks as Citrus upset the WSC's second place team.
The Fighting Owls got things rolling in the 26th minute, when Nathan Acosta took a rebound off a corner kick from 25 yards out and sent the ball through the Moorpark goal. 11 minutes later, Tuc got his goal much in the same way, when he sent a corner kick through the goal posts.
Citrus' third goal would come minutes later, when in the 45th minute Yves Tanonko took yet another corner kick and Derek Stransky assist and gave Citrus a 3-0 lead. The Fighting Owls would continue to add on to their lead minutes into the second half, as Tanonko got his second goal of the game and seventh goal of the season unassisted in the 46th minute.
With the win Citrus improves to 6-5-3 overall and 3-2-2 in Western State Conference play. The Fighting Owls will begin the second half of conference play on Friday, when they travel to Oxnard College for a 4:00 PM match-up. Both teams played to a 2-2 tie earlier in the season.
