Sophomore Day Win for Men’s Soccer
MC earns 4-0 victory in regular season finale
MOORPARK, Calif. (Nov. 12, 2025) – The regular season finale and Sophomore Day for the Moorpark College men's soccer team was extra memorable as the Raiders posted a 4-0 shutout over Allan Hancock to close out the schedule with a second straight win.
A blocked shot on an attempt from Uziel Diaz landed at the feet of Sebastian Alvarado who immediately fired the ball back to Diaz, this time, the sophomore found the back of the net with the ultimate winning goal as time expired in the first half of play.
After the intermission, Alvarado added a goal of his own in 56th minute to double the MC advantage. Late in the game another pair of goals would aid the Raiders in locking up the win. Antonio De La Cruz found Kevin Parker who punched it in for the third goal of the day and the final score of the contest came uniquely by way of goalkeeper Artun Vance from Ivan Seimendi less than 30 seconds before time ran out in the contest.
It was Vance's first career goal, as his two seasons were spent as the primary keeper.
The sophomore class of De La Cruz, Diaz, Vance, Alejandro Barreto, Alex Bosanac, Johnny Chavez, Ramiro Chavez, Shane Donis, Ricky Esparza, Diego Estrada, Ignacio Garcia, Darius Marsh, Daniel Marshall, Troy Mishkanian, Mikey Robledo and Adam Schmeets all donned the Blue and White at home for the final time on Nov. 11.
