The traditional 7-10 seed upset was inevitable in the first round of the Southern California Regional Playoffs, as the Moorpark College Raiders beat the Oxnard College Condors on their home turf 1-0 Saturday afternoon.

In the first half of the game, both teams led potent offensive attacks against the other team.

The Raiders were able to score the lone goal of the game on an Oxnard mistake. There was a battle for the ball on the Condors’ side of the field, and in the battle, the ball reflected off a Condor player, resulting in an own-goal score, giving the Raiders an early holiday gift in the process.

Both offense had opportunities to score, but could not find a way to get their shots into the net.

At the start of the second half, the Condors came out playing fast and strong on offense, putting the Raiders on their heels. The Condors shot on goal multiple times, but were unable to score.

In the waning minutes of the game, the Condors were in mere desperation to score. When on offense, the Condors would move the ball up field and lob it into the goalie’s box hoping someone would head it in or get a foot on it, but to no avail.

As time expired, the Raiders celebrated the road win at mid-field.

Despite having home-field advantage, Condors head coach Ross Greaney knew it would be a tough game.

“That’s how playoffs games are, intense and hard fought,” he said.

Even though the Condors lost, gaining a disappointing first-round exit, Greaney was happy with his team’s performance.

“Our players did well. I thought we played well,” he said. “We created chances for ourselves and our goalie made some important saves.”

The Condors ended the season with an impressive 11-6-4 record. The Raiders move onto the second-round of the So. Cal Regionals, which will start Tuesday, Nov. 24. The team they will play, as well as the time and place, is to be announced.
