NO. 1 HAWKS STAY UNBEATEN WITH 4-0 VICTORY OVER TIGERS SATURDAY

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa – The No. 1 Northeast Community College men's soccer team hit the road after a week off Saturday for a clash with Marshalltown Community College in Marshalltown, Iowa. The Hawks came out on top in the contest by a final score of 4-0 to remain perfect on the season.

Northeast (15-0, 6-0 ICCAC) continued the best start in program history behind a goal 20 minutes into the contest from Lewis Rourke (Nottingham, England). The Hawks held just a 1-0 lead at the halftime break but were able to continue pushing and tallied three second-half goals off the feet of Edouard Nys (Dottignies, Belgium), Sergio Aspas (Valencia, Spain) and Rourke for a second time. Northeast will now shift their focus to their final three remaining contests in the regular season as there are just two weeks until postseason play begins.

STAT SHEET:

Goals: Lewis Rourke (Nottingham, England) (2), Edouard Nys (Dottignies, Belgium), Sergio Aspas (Valencia, Spain)

Assists: Edouard Nys, Jeevan Purewal (Wolverhampton, England), Aleksander Pedersen (Aarhus, Denmark), Luca Rosen (London, England)

HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Head Men's Soccer Coach Adam Potter on hitting the pitch again after the bye week:

"The bye week got to us early, but we were able to shake off the rust and have a solid response in the second half," Potter said.

Potter on finishing the regular season strong:

"Things are not going to be handed to us!" Potter said. "We have to go grab them and keep hunting! A champion is someone who does not settle for that day's practice, that day's competition or that day's performance. They are always striving to be better. They don't live in the past."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will return home for a matchup outside of Region 11 as they will battle Western Nebraska Community College at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Norfolk Veterans Memorial Field in Norfolk.
