Men’s Soccer Rolls to 4-0 Win Over Potomac State

Prince George's Community College men's soccer claimed a 4-0 shutout victory at home against WVU Potomac State College on Tuesday, October 8^th. Tuesday's matchup was the first contest between teams since the 2016 season when both programs were competing at the Division III level.

The Owls took control early when Muhammad Sallah scored on a crashing attack in the 5^th minute off a deep long ball into the box by teammate Shane Lopez Haddia. Prince George's kept the pressure on but were unable to tally another goal in the first half to enter halftime with a 1-0 lead.

Jerson Chirino extended the Owls lead early in the second half before Zico Tesheira made it 3-0 for Prince George's with another signature free kick goal placed just out of reach of the Catamounts keeper in the 64^th. Sophomore Osenose Ibhagui capped off the scoring in the 83^rd, recording his first goal of the year off a Messi Morales assist.
