MOORPARK, Calif. (Sept. 9, 2025) – Since turning the calendar page to September, the Moorpark College men's soccer team has been on fire. After doubling up Lemoore 6-3 on Sept. 2, the Raiders followed up today with a 4-1 victory over Compton, fueled by a hat-trick and more from sophomore Uzi Diaz.

MC controlled play throughout the game, outshooting the Coyotes 17-5 with 11 on goal. In the 43^rd minute, the Raiders broke up the scoreless contest when Diaz connected for an unassisted goal just before halftime.

After the break, the tear continued with the ultimate game-winner in the 46^th minute, followed by a Tristan Guy assist to Diaz to complete the hat-trick. For good measure, Diaz put another shot into the back of the net in the 76^th minute to secure the victory, a second straight, for the Raiders.
