Men’s Soccer cranks up season Aug. 22

PERKINSTON — The defending MACCC champion Mississippi Gulf Coast men's soccer team gets its regular season started with a home match against rival Jones. The Aug. 22 non-conference game will be the first of six home matches.

Last year under head coach Chris Handy, the Bulldogs won the MACCC championship for the second time in three years. They'll open conference play Sept. 17 when East Central visits Bary Thrash Field.

Season passes for all Gulf Coast soccer matches, men's and women's, are now on sale. They cost $50 for adults and $30 for youths, and they include eight home dates. Five of those are MACCC doubleheaders.

Single-game tickets purchased online cost $7 for adults and $5 for youth. At the gate, it's $10 for adults and $7 for youth. All online tickets can be purchased at http://mgcccbulldogs.com/tickets.

Gulf Coast, which lost in overtime in the Gulf District championship match, plays three exhibition games before the regular season starts. The Bulldogs entertain William Carey on Aug. 9 and host a scrimmage against program alumni on Aug. 17.
