Jorge Mena’s team lost 5-2 at L.A Pierce College Tuesday making them 3-3-2. This came after a big 3-0 win against Canyons Oct. 3.
Glendale was up 2-1 when they scored a goal on themselves and the game got out of hand from there.

The next match comes against Santa Monica College at the Glendale Sports Complex Friday at 4 p.m.
