The Anoka-Ramsey Men's Soccer team advanced to the NJCAA Region XIII Championship game with a convincing 12-0 win over Minnesota West on Thursday afternoon.
The Golden Rams scored early and often against the shorthanded Blue Jays who played with just ten players. This was the first time this season that the Golden Rams scored double digit goals and the second time they kept a clean sheet.
"I really enjoyed how the boys played this afternoon," said head coach Qassim Ilmi. "From the beginning to the end, they did not take their foot off the gas. All of our players contributed to this game, with many scoring their first goal of the season."
Added Ilmi, "I was also pleased to have a clean sheet and not concede a goal, at this level it's not easy to get that opportunity."
The Golden Rams will host the championship game on Sunday, October 24 at 12:00pm. The other semifinal between Riverland and Lake Superior takes place on Friday afternoon.
