The Tompkins Cortland Community College men's soccer team hosted one of the top teams in the nation Wednesday when #3-ranked Herkimer College came to town. The visiting Generals put on an impressive display worthy of their ranking, besting the Panthers in every facet of the game en route to a 7-0 final. The Panthers are now 2-3 overall and 1-3 in Region III. Herkimer is 6-0 overall and 4-0 in region.

Herkimer set the tone early, opening the scoring in the sixth minute of play and putting three in the net before 13 minutes had come off the clock. Two goals in a 27-second span during the 31st minute made it 5-0 and another score in the 37th minute made it 6-0. The last score came during the second half, in the 61st minute of play.  

Tompkins Cortland heads back on the road this weekend for a Saturday game at Erie Community College.
