After having to forfeit their first 2 games, Joliet Junior College men's soccer bounced back in emphatic fashion Friday, rolling to an 8-0 win over UW-Whitewater at Rock County.
The Wolves came out flying, scoring four times in the opening 15 minutes to take control. Linus Graetz opened the scoring in the 2nd minute and added another in the 11th, while Linus Asenkerschbaum in the 7th and Miran Feldmaier in the 15th each tallied to put JJC up 4-0 at halftime.
The offensive dominance continued after the break. Luuk Walter scored in the 54th minute then Ben Rieckmann struck twice in a two-minute span in the 56th and 58th minutes. Benjamin Hainzinger added the final goal in the 65th minute to seal the game.
JJC controlled the net with fired 35 shots, with 17 on goal, while holding Rock County to just three attempts. Goalkeeper Dario Mota recorded three clean saves.
After the match, Head Coach Cris Trillo spoke about how the extra motivation helped his team.
"We won 8-0. We were extra motivated because of our two forfeits. This win helps us refocus and get the momentum we need to face an undefeated COD on Wednesday," he said.
It was a very unselfish performance, with seven different players recording assists, including Sean Thompson, who set up two second-half goals. This victory gave JJC its first official win of the season.
The Wolves will look to carry the momentum into their game when they clash with undefeated College of DuPage on Wednesday.
