The win for MSJC is their third in their last five matches and improves their season record to 3-6.  The Eagles will return to action on Friday when they travel to Riverside for a pair of matches.  MSJC will begin the day with a 10 am match up against Glendale, Arizona and then play Riverside City College at 2 pm. 

The Eagles will be back at home on the San Jacinto Campus next Wednesday September 18th when they host East Los Angeles at 5 pm.
