The Western Nebraska Community College men's soccer team received goals from four different players in registering a 4-0 win over Northwest College Friday afternoon at the Landers Soccer Complex.
The win Friday kept the Cougar men undefeated on the season at 3-0.
Jacob Collins, who recorded one of the four goals, said being undefeated this season so far is huge considering a year ago, the Cougar men only registered two wins.
"The team is playing extremely well," Collins said. "We have been training hard and I feel like its really paying off because we have won all our games. I feel like we have good team chemistry which is so important for any team."
Friday night, it was a good team effort especially on defense in holding the Trappers scoreless.
"The attackers played really well and they took their chances. But I feel that we could have scored more," Collins said. "The defense was extremely solid. We gave them no opportunities to score and I felt like the defense communicated very well."
Collins said it was just a good day of soccer for the Cougar men.
"I thought that the team played really well," Collins said. "We kept possession of the ball extremely well and overall, we just played really well as a team."
