GLENDORA - Citrus College scored an early goal only 11 minutes into the match against the Marauder men's soccer team, however, AVC showed its resiliency and responded in the second half to salvage a 1-1 tie against the Owls in the conference opener for both teams.
"I told the guys we were ready for this match even with the regards to their winning record. We have played high level teams in the preseason which helped prepare us for conference," AVC head coach Jerry Stupar said. "Matchups play a big factor in conference matches. We know we will perform well as long as we match the physicality."
