defeating the fifth-ranked Pima Cougars in the junior college boys’
soccer season opener, the Mesa Thunderbirds – in an attempt
to carry over a winning record from last season – lost what
turned out to be a bloody street game 2-1 to the Chandler/Gilbert
Coyotes last Wednesday at home.

Colorado Springs, Colo.
Air Force Academy 58, MCC 35
This season opener was unsuccessful despite hard efforts put forth
by the Thunderbirds.
