Legends Soccer played double header against the Dakota County Technical College Blue Knights.

Alexandria College Legend's men's and women's soccer teams played a doubleheader against the Dakota County Technical College Blue Knights during a home game in Alexandria, Minn., September 9.

The men's teams played first. The Blue Knights came out strong taking the lead. Legend Jairo Martinez (Willmar) pushed hard and was able to put the Legends on the scoreboard, but the Blue Knights would continue to push the pace and rack up goals. The Legends would be able to score again with a free kick made by Roberto Gomez (Chaska), but fell short of a victory with a final score of 6-2.

The following is an excerpt from the article, Alexandria College teams fall to Dakota County Tech, by Jake Sutherlin, Echo Press.

"We lost our heads and didn't stay cool," Gomez said. "Players didn't track with their runners. We've been working on a lot of this stuff in practice, but we didn't apply it today. The main focus for us to get better is making sure we are more composed in those moments."

The Legends women's team took to the field after where Molly Hanson (Fargo, N.D.) played a hard game against the Blue Knights with 11 saves during the home game.

Despite Hanson's goal-keeping skills, the Blue Knights were able to fill the net three times allowing them to walk away with the win. 

With an assist from Julissa Celis Victoria (Willmar), Chloe Kraenzel (Dickinson, N.D.) scored the only Legends goal of the game. The final score was 3 to 1.

The Legend's Soccer will hit the road to compete again against the Anoka Ramsey Community College Rams on Sept. 13, men's game at 3:30 p.m. and women's game at 5:30 p.m.
