After two more straight days of rain the CMCC field was not in better shape for Wednesday’s game against Bridgeton Academy than it was during the NMCC game on Sunday. While it wasn’t raining at game time the field was saturated and high winds made for uncomfortable conditions. The game was evenly played for the first thirty minutes and then Bridgton began to pull ahead. With a 2-0 lead at the half Bridgton went on to add three more goals in the second half. Mustang goalkeeper Munawar Munawar grabbed 10 saves while Derick Belanger, William Maiwan and Josh Cerrato played well.

CMCC - 2 EMCC - 1
On Saturday, September 10th the CMCC Mustangs travelled north to face Eastern Maine Community College. The first half provided scoring chances on both ends of the field. The most noticeable of which was a penalty kick awarded when Eric Murrin was fouled. Joey Scribellito stepped up and fired a good hard shot but it was saved by the Golden Eagle goalkeeper. In the closing seconds of the first half EMCC took advantage of a good corner kick and was awarded a seemingly controversial goal. Mustang goalkeeper Erik Tiner fell onto a bouncing ball alongside the goal just as the half time horn sounded. The center official then conferred with the linesman who confirmed that the ball had crossed the line completely before the half ended.
Using this as motivation CMCC came out firing and dominated the better part of the second half. With just a little more than one minute remaining in the game J.J. Musse scored the equalizer when he collected a throw in from Tony Blake. The first fifteen minute overtime period was again controlled by CMCC but none of the Mustangs could find the back of the net. With about 4 minutes left in the game J.J. Musse broke free again and was hauled down by the EMCC goalkeeper in the penalty area to prevent a goal. CMCC’s Joey Scribellito again stepped to the penalty spot and redeemed himself scoring with a well-placed ball. Mustang goalkeeper Erik Tiner stopped 24 shots and defenders William Wag Maiwan and Jeremy Remeika were all crucial pieces of the CMCC win.
