Men's Soccer Opens Season With Crucial Win Over William Jessup

REDDING, CA - 
Simpson men's soccer opened its season Saturday with a 2-1 victory over former conference rival, William Jessup.
 
The Red Hawks beat the Warriors for the first time since 2012 and did so despite the WJU taking more shots in the match. Simpson kicked off the scoring in the 5th minute when Ruben Barajas snuck a shot past the keeper to give the Red Hawks the early lead.
 
After Jessup equalized in the 75th minute, Barajas delivered again this time distributing to Joel Sterling who found the back of the net to give Simpson what ended up being the game-winning goal.
 
Christian Guevara provided a vital spark for Simpson assisting on the Barajas' goal while also taking three shots, one on frame for the match.
 
This marks the first win for new Simpson head men's soccer coach, Erly Cornejo, and the Red Hawks will march on to a rematch against William Jessup next Friday at 2 PM.
